Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies

In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together the sugars, margarine and oil. Add vanilla and eggs and mix to combine.

Combine the flour through salt in a medium sized bowl. Stir dry ingredients into the wet ingredients a little at a time, mixing as you go. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it into the refrigerator. Chill the dough at least 1 hour, or overnight before baking.

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Drop dough by the tablespoon onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, leaving about two inches in between each. Flatten each with a glass dipped in sugar. Bake at 375 F for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden brown around the edges. These cookies are supposed to be very light in color.

Note: Batter keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. I usually make the batter one day and bake the cookies the next. Makes a batch of about 60 cookies.
