MISTLETOE MAKE AND BAKE DAY TWO

Welcome to the second day of the Mistletoe Make and Bake.  I loved Sherri's project yesterday.  How about you?

We all have things in our "bag 'o tricks to help us get through the Holiday Season.  I used to feel like I should decorate inside and out, every room in the house.  But, after a couple of stressful years, I realized it really is all about the people you love.  So, I have scaled back.  I have a large cookie jar collection, so I pull out some cute, chunky cookie jars, sprinkle a few quilts here and there and call it 'decorated'.  It's helped save my sanity!

I was given this recipe many years ago, by the Grandmother of a friend.  She baked them every day!  The mailman counted on it!

Drop Sugar Cookies

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup butter

1 cup vegetable oil

2 eggs

1 Tablespoon Vanilla

1/2 tsp. salt

4 cups plus 4 Tablespoons flour

1 tsp soda

1 tsp Cream of Tartar (her secret ingredient)

cream sugars with butter.  Beat oil and eggs.  Add vanilla, mix dry ingredients, and add gradually.  Roll in small balls, place on cookie sheet. Press with glass dipped in sugar.

bake at 375 for about 8 minutes

watch carefully, do not let them turn brown.
