Let's make it!

These sugar cookies are thick, buttery, and soft, with slightly crumbly edges.

1

Preheat the oven to 325°F/160°C and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine the flour with baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt and set aside.

2

In a mixing bowl, combine butter with sugar and beat with hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Then add the oil and powdered sugar, and beat again for a minute.

3

Add the egg and beat until smooth. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix on LOW speed until combined.

4

Using a large 3 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets.

5

Spray the bottom of the clean glass (around 2.5” in diameter) with baking spray, then press each cookie to flatten it until it’s around ½” in thickness. The edges of the cookie dough should flare out and become uneven.

6

Bake in the preheated oven for 11 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

7

To make the frosting, in a mixing bowl combine butter with sour cream and with a hand mixer beat until creamy.

8

Add the powdered sugar, and beat on LOW speed until combined and then increase the speed and beat for another minute.

9

Add food coloring, and mix again. Frost the cookies using a butter knife or the back of a spoon.
