Food Friday: Recipe for Amish Sugar Cookies

These are seriously addicting cookies.  (From "Taste of Home Christmas Cookies and Candy" 2008) They're better than the ordinary sugar cookie--lighter.  Not so dry, but maybe it's that cup of butter!  Anyway, if you're going to make a dessert, as my friend, Lynn, always says, "Make it good!" (and it's no time to worry about it being healthy!)  You will love these cookies.  (Note: We used canola oil.)
Amish Sugar Cookies
Yield:  approx. 5 dozen cookies

In large bowl, beat the butter, oil and sugars.  Beat in eggs until well blended.  Beat in vanilla.
