Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Whisk together in a medium bowl: 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour; ½ teaspoon baking soda; ½ teaspoon cream of tartar; ½ teaspoon salt

  2. Step 2.

    Beat in a large bowl until smooth: 1 stick (4 oz or 115g) unsalted butter, softened; ½ cup (105g) vegetable oil; ½ cup (100g) sugar; ½ cup (50g) powdered sugar

  3. Step 3.

    Beat in: 1 teaspoon vanilla

  4. Step 4.

    Beat in one at a time: 2 large eggs

  5. Step 5.

    Beat in the flour mixture just until combined. Drop by the rounded teaspoon onto the prepared baking sheets about 1 ½ inches apart.

Let cool for 5 minutes on the sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
