# 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.
