Ingredients
For The Cookies
- 1 cup salted butter soften
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar divided
- 3/4 cup powder sugar
- 2 Tbsp Water
- 2 Large Eggs
- 5 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp Sea Salt fine grain
For The Icing
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 6 drops pink gel food coloring (or more or less, depending on how pink you like things)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, vegetable oil, 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar, powdered sugar, water, and eggs until combined. Slowly add in flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Mix until blended.
- Dough may be slightly crumbly, but should not be sticky. Using a spoon, spoon out a dough ball and roll it in your hands. (I like to make bigger cookies but its up to you on the size, but at least a spoonful) Place on cookie sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and a pinch of sea salt.
- Using a glass cup with a flat bottom, dip glass in sugar bowl, then press on top of cookie. Flatten cookie so that the dough spills out over the sides of the glass to create a lip (for the icing). Repeat for all dough balls.
- Bake cookies for 7-9 minutes. Remove and cool completely on wire rack.
- For the icing, beat together the butter and sour cream until well blended. Add in powdered sugar and food coloring, beating until well blended.
- With the back of a metal spoon, spread the frosting onto the cookies
- Now try not to eat them all!
