Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Shape the Cookies:

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or with your fingers.

Sprinkle with additional granulated sugar if desired.

Bake the Cookies:

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to cooling racks to cool completely.

Serve:

Once cooled, serve the cookies plain or with your favorite frosting or sprinkles.
