State Fair Sugar Cookies

Now I know everyone has a favorite sugar cookie recipe. This is one of my favorites. Its not a sugar cookie that you would make to decorate. No, this cookie is a light, chewy cookie that just melts in your mouth. Now if you bake this cookie too long it will be crispy, I think crispy cookies are of the devil so don't over bake.
 Ingredients:
1 cup butter (the real stuff)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup sugar
1 cup oil
2 eggs
4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tarter
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
Cream together butter and sugars. Add remaining ingredients and mix until blended. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough into balls and roll in granulated sugar. Place on cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. Now my mother takes the bottom of a crystal glass and presses a design into each one, but this isn't necessary. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Do not over bake.
