How to Make Aunt Zana's Amish Sugar Cookies Eggless

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup vegetable oil.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon cream of tartar.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls.
  7. Place balls onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Gently flatten each ball to about the size of a nickel using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
