After many recipe failures, my friend Carla discovered her mother always used Parkay margarine and Crisco oil. Brands sometimes make all the difference!
Cream together two sticks of Parkay at room temperature with one cup granulated sugar and one cup powdered confectionery sugar.
Add one cup Crisco oil, one teaspoon vanilla, and two eggs, then beat well.
Add 4 1/2 cups sifted all purpose flour, one teaspoon soda, and one teaspoon cream of tartar and a dash of salt.
Chill the dough for three hours or longer.
Make into small balls, dip in sugar (I use cake decorating sugar crystals, they are bigger) and press with a glass. (I use my hands)
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes (I bake at 325 in my convection oven)
REMOVE FROM COOKIE SHEET IMMEDIATELY! After they cool, they will crumble!
