Yield: about 6 dozen

Here's a sugar cookie recipe that melts in your mouth.

1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla
4 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp salt

Cream the sugars and butter (or margarine). Add oil, eggs, almond extract and vanilla. Mix well with mixer. Add remaining dry ingredients. Mix well. Drop by teaspoon on cookie sheet. Press down lightly with bottom of glass dipped in colored sugar (red and green is nice this time of year). (a little oil on the bottom of the glass helps here). Bake 8-11 minutes at 350 degrees.
