Aunt Almas White Cookies

- 10 minutes to make
- Serves 60
An old family recipe, from my mother’s Aunt Alma – I love the flavor the almond extract gives these. You can add finely diced almonds to the batter, if you really want to go with the almond flavor. I had to share this “oldie but goodie”!
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar shopping list
- 1 cup powdered sugar shopping list
- 1 cup butter, softened shopping list
- 1 cup vegetable oil shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract shopping list
- 1 teaspoon almond extract shopping list
- 4¼ cups flour shopping list
- 1 teaspoon baking soda shopping list
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar shopping list
- ½ teaspoon salt shopping list
How to make it
- Cream together both sugars, butter and oil.
- Stir in eggs, and both extracts, mixing well.
- In a separate bowl, stir remaining dry ingredients together to mix well; stir into creamed mixture until thoroughly blended.
- Roll dough into balls and place on lightly greased cookie sheet.
- Press each ball down with your fingertips (my mom would use a potato masher to give the tops of the cookies a pretty pattern).
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, until just barely brown around the outer edges.
- Remove cookies from pan to waxed paper to cool completely before storing.
