I have used this recipe several times and tinted the batter. They are very light and delicate. Hope this is what you are looking for.

Best Sugar Cookies

1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter or margarine
2 eggs, beaten
5 cups flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup salad oil
2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine all ingredients in a large mixer bowl. Beat on medium speed until well mixed. Chill for an hour. Roll bits of dough into small balls (about 1/2" diameter). Press onto ungreased cookie sheet with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake at 350 deg. for 10-12 min., or until done but NOT brown. Makes 6 dozen.

Note: These also freeze very well. You can tint it with food color for holidays.
