Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 1 ¾ cup sugar divided
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 5 ½ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Frosting
- ½ cup butter softened
- ½ cup sour cream (or plain greek yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 7 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- ⅓ cup shaved almonds optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl cream together butter, vegetable oil, 1 1/2 cups sugar, powdered sugar, water, and eggs.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined. (dough should be crumbly and not sticky)
- Roll dough into balls (slightly larger than a golf ball) and place on a lightly greased baking sheet about 3-4 inches apart.
- Place remaining 1/4 cup sugar on a plate. Use the bottom end of a tall glass cup (or the bottom of a small jar) for pressing the cookies. Spritz the bottom of the glass/jar with cooking spray then dip the bottom into the sugar. Press cookies to about 1/2 inch thickness. Let the edges of the cookie dough squish out past the edges of the glass.
- Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a clean flat surface or a cooking rack. When completely cool, place in airtight containers (if stacking, separate layers with parchment or wax paper) and keep chilled in the fridge.
- For the frosting, cream together butter, sour cream (or greek yogurt), and cream cheese until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and mix until smooth. Store chilled in airtight container.
- Immediately before serving, frost cookies. Top with shaved almonds if desired.
Notes
- Store in airtight container in fridge up to five days.
