This is from the Better Home and Gardens New Cook Book 12th edition. These are really good! They have some other really good recipes check it out here!!
1/2 cup of butter, softened
1/2 cup of shortening
2 cups of sugar
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon of salt
3 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1 3/4 cups of flour (all-purpose)
Beat butter and shortening until blended. Add in the sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt and mix well. Make sure the side of the bowl are scraped. Mix in the egg yolks and vanilla. Add as much flour as possible using the mixer, then just mix the rest with a spoon.
Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place on an ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake in a preheated oven of 300 degrees for 15 minutes making sure the edges do not brown. Of course if the cookies are smaller or bigger, the time will need to be adjusted. After letting the cookies cool for about 1 minute, put them on a cooling rack and allow them to continue to cool.
This recipe will make around 60 cookies
