# What You Need:

→ Cookie Dough

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
04 - 1/2 cup canola oil
05 - 1 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
06 - 1 large egg
07 - 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
10 - 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
11 - 3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

→ For Rolling and Finishing

12 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until creamy.
03 - Add canola oil and continue mixing, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Gradually incorporate dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
05 - Scoop small amounts of dough and roll into uniform balls. Toss each ball in 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until coated.
06 - Place dough balls at least 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets, approximately 30 per sheet. Use a cookie stamp or the flat bottom of a glass to gently flatten each dough ball.
07 - Bake each tray for 9 to 12 minutes or until cookies are puffed and just beginning to set at the edges. Remove pans from oven and set on wire racks.
08 - Immediately sprinkle the tops of the hot cookies with the reserved 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Allow cookies to cool completely on wire racks before storing.

# Extra Tips:

01 - If the dough appears slightly curdled after adding the extracts and egg, this is normal and will not affect the end result.
