A crispy and light sugar cookie loaded with flavor. These cookies are especially requested at Christmas. Almond extract is my favorite but you can change it by modifying the flavoring.

Directions

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, oil and sugars. Add in the eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and almond extracts.
Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until well blended.
Chill for at least 2 hours as batter is soft.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Roll the dough into walnut sized balls. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto the cookie sheet. Flatten cookies to 1/8 inch thickness using the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
Bake for 8-10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost, if desired.
