Butter Melt-Aways

Every one I've made these for have loved them. The texture reminds me
of
almond cookies.

Ingredients:

1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 and 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

Directions:

Cream butter, oil, and sugars. Add egg and vanilla. Combine flour,
baking
soda, and cream of tartar in separate bowl. Gradually add to creamed
mixture. Chill for several hours or overnight. Drop by rounded
teaspoons 2
inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with fork dipped in
flour.
Sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 13-15 minutes in a 350-degree oven.
