1 c. vegetable oil
1 c. butter
1 c. powdered sugar
1 c. granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
4 c. flour
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
Red & green decorator sugar

Thoroughly cream vegetable oil and butter with the powdered and granulated sugars. Add vanilla extract and eggs. Mix well. Set aside. Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir flour mixture into sugar mixture until well blended. Put dough into refrigerator for about 1 hour for easier handling. Roll dough into balls using about a teaspoon. Roll balls into red or green sugar. Place balls on a lightly greased baking sheet. Flatten balls with a glass which has shortening rubbed on it, then dip in red and green sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
