3/4 c. soft butter or margarine (not a margarine spread)
3/4 c. vegetable oil
1 c. confectioner's sugar
1 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. lemon extract
4 c. plain flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar ( a must!)
1/2 tsp. salt
colored sugar for decoration
Set oven temperature to 375 degrees and preheat. Sift together dry ingredients and set aside. Cream together oil, butter, and sugars. Stir in eggs, vanilla, and lemon extract. Blend well. Add dry ingredients gradually until well blended. Roll into walnut sized balls. Place two inches apart on cookie sheet. Flatten with bottom of glass dipped in sugar. Bake 9 to 12 minutes. Cool slightly before removing to wire rack. Do not OVERBAKE! You just want the edges lightly browned, tops light in color. If you cook them too long they will be dry and crumbly. Keep in air tight container.
