Amish Sugar Cookies

My Christmas baking has begun.  I have a bunch of recipes I want to try.  My first baking adventure was baking a batch of  Amish Sugar Cookies.  I found this recipe on the Taste of Home website. They looked so good I just had to make some.  The ingredients are common items you probably have in your pantry.  In addition to being tasty these cookies are so easy to make.
Place butter, oil and sugars in a large bowl and beat. Next add in the eggs and vanilla.  In a separate bowl add the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.  Add in small amounts of the flour mixture to the cream mixture.  Drop by teaspoon onto a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes.  Cool and  enjoy a wonderful tasting cookie. They just melt in your mouth.
