Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup salted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Beat the soft butter, oil, and sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Dump into the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
  • Cover the cookie dough or wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 90 minutes (or overnight).
  • Preheat your oven to 350°.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into tablespoon sized balls. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 9 minutes, or until set.
  • Let cool for 3-5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
