February,Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies

1 cup soft butter

1 cup confectionery sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

2 teas. Vanilla

2 teas. finely grated lemon rind

4 cups flour

1 teas. baking soda

1 teas. cream of tartar

1 teas. salt

Mix together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, lemon rind and salt. In separate large bowl beat butter or margarine and sugars together until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beat well. Add oil and vanilla and mix until smooth. Gradually add the flour mixture.

If dough is too soft chill it for several hours. Shape dough into balls and flatten on cookie sheet, or drop dough onto cookie sheet with teaspoons (my method). Dip a cookie stamp in sugar and flatten cookies slightly (you can also use a fork or other creative things).

Bake cookies at 325 for 12 to 15 minutes. Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
