Happy St. Patrick's day! (If you are reading this on the day I posted it, anyway 😊🍀)
These cookies are really, really excellent. And so easy to make! Might have to make more again quite soon, as my kid has already declared there are not enough of them 😅 It does only make about 2 dozen.

Recipe as listed below contains my modifications.
Ingredients:
2 3/4 c. (330g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 c. canola oil
1/2 c. sugar (plus extra for 'coating')
1/2 c. powdered sugar, sifted
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
frosting (I made my 'throw-together' homemade version; use your favorite recipe/kind)
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and kosher salt. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, canola oil, sugar, and powdered sugar.
4. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
5. On low speed, mix in the reserved flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Portion dough using a 1.5 T cookie scoop, onto prepared baking sheets. Space dough portions 2" apart. Grease the bottom of a flat measuring cup or glass, then dip in sugar, then flatten each dough ball to about 1/4" thick, re-coating in sugar before flattening each.
7. Transfer to oven, then bake for 8 min. After removing from oven, let cookies rest on sheet for 5 min. before transferring them to cool completely on racks.
8. Once cookies have cooled completely, frost and decorate. Enjoy!
