Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies

1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 c. powdered sugar
2 beaten eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 c. oil
1 tsp. vanilla
5 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tarter

Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs, salt, oil and vanilla; mix thoroughly. Add sifted flour, baking soda and cream of tarter; blend well.
Take pieces of dough - about the size of a walnut - roll into a ball; place 1-inch apart on greased cookie sheet. Put 1/2 c. sugar in a small dish and be ready with a glass tumbler about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Dip bottom of glass into sugar, then press dough balls flat. As soon as the glass is oil it will pick up enough sugar to decorate the top of the cookies.
