Here is Day 2’s recipe from 12 days of Christmas Cookies recipe series

The Ultimate Sugar Cookie

1 cup white sugar
1 cup icing sugar
1 cup butter ( softened- I have never used margarine but I think you could try it)
2 eggs (beaten)
1 teaspoon cream of tarter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla (must be real vanilla!)
4 cups flour
½ cup canola or other vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 375.
Cream the sugar and butter together.
Lightly beat eggs sepreatly and add to creamed mixture.
Mix the beaten eggs, vanilla and oil. Add the rest of ingredients. Cover and chill overnight ( I put in ziplock bag). Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes…. the may look slighly underdone when you take out- but do not overcook- they will continue to cook after you take them out.

Eat plain, frost/sprinkle however you like
