This is my mother -in-law’s recipe. She passed away when Harrison was about 5 months old, so we call them our “Grandma Doris” cookies when we make them.

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup cooking oil
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp cream of tarta r
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda

Cream butter and sugar, then add oil, egg, and vanilla. Mix well. Sift dry ingredients together and add gradually to sugar mixture. Roll into small balls about 1/2 inch in diameter. Place on cookie sheet and flatten with a spoon dipped i n sugar, or roll out and cut with cookie cutters.

Bake 8–10 minutes at 375°.
