Hi Joyce,

These cookies literally melt in your mouth. They are a favorite with everyone every time I make them. They came from the Los Angeles Times food section a few years ago. You can tint them in pastel colors to match the wedding colors.

Best Sugar Cookies

1 cup. powdered sugar
1 cup. butter or margarine
2 eggs, beaten
5 cups. flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup. granulated sugar
1 cup. salad oil
2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine all ingredients in a large mixer bowl.
Beat on medium speed until well mixed. Chill for
an hour. Roll bits of dough into small balls
(about 1/2" diameter). Press onto ungreased
cookie sheet with the bottom of a glass dipped
in sugar. Bake at 350 deg. for 10-12 min., or
until done but NOT brown. Makes 6 dozen.

Note: These also freeze very well. You can
tint it with food color for special occasions.
