📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper. Read the notes below before proceeding with the recipe.
2
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar. Add the oil, beating until combined and scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add egg and both extracts. It might look a little curdled, that's ok.

3
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat until combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
4
Set aside ¼ cup of sugar for topping the baked cookies. Place ½ cup sugar in a container you can use the toss the dough balls with the sugar. Something wide and flat with sides. I used a rectangular food storage container.
5
Scoop the dough into 2-teaspoon portions (I scoop a heaping portion with a 1-teaspoon cookie scoop) and drop the dough balls into the sugar container (I do about 8-10 at a time). Gently shake the container or use your fingers to coat the dough balls in sugar.
6
Place the dough balls a couple inches apart on the prepared baking sheets (I do about 30 dough balls per sheet). Use a cookie stamp or the bottom of a glass to flatten each dough ball.
7
Bake for ⏱️ 9-12 minutes until the cookies have puffed and are beginning to set around the edges (they will crisp up as they cool). Place the pans on wire racks and immediately sprinkle the tops with some of the reserved sugar. Cool completely before storing.
