Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups (288g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ cup 1 stick or 113g) salted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup (112g or 4 ounces) vegetable oil
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (63g) confectioners' sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375°F and line a few baking sheets with parchment paper. (I bake them at 350°F in a convection oven)
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, oil, and sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, scraping the sides as necessary.
- Reduce speed to medium and add the egg (or your egg substitute), mixing just until combined.
- Add the vanilla and mix until combined.
- Reduce speed to low and add the flour in three additions, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Using a scoop that holds 2 tablespoons of dough, drop batter onto the baking sheet, spacing at least an inch apart.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, just until the edges begin to darken.
- Let cool on baking sheet.
