Instructions
Combine butter, oil, sugar, confectioners’ sugar, eggs, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt and vanilla in a bowl.
Mix with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.
Stir in flour and Crème de Menthe baking pieces with a wooden spoon until very well combined.
Using a mixer at this point toughens cookies.
Shape cookies into balls.
Roll in granulated or turbinado sugar.
Put 2" apart on cookie sheets that have been sprayed with cooking spray and bake at 375°for 10-12 minutes.
Rotate cookie sheets on oven racks half way through baking time.
Cool.
Notes
NOTE: My cookies took longer to bake. I think they took closer to 17 minutes.NOTE: It is imperative that the butter be just softened, not melted for this recipe. Melting the butter changes the whole texture of the cookie. If that happens, chill dough for an hour in the refrigerator before rolling into balls.
