*

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, cream together the butter, canola oil, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, water, and almond extract. Then add in eggs and blend to combine.
Add in the baking soda, cream of tarter, and salt. Blend to combine.

Then add in flour and blend just until combined,
Shape dough into golf ball sized balls. Place 6-8 on your cookie sheet depending on how large it is. Then dip the bottom of a drinking glass in sugar and then press the golf ball sized dough down until about ½ inch thick and the edges get a crinkly effect.

Bake for 8-10 minutes. This is a little tricky because the cookie will look under done. they really don't get any color to them. They will just look firm. Do not over bake.

Allow cookies to cool and then refrigerate.

For the frosting, cream the butter, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla together until well blended. If needed add a little milk.

Spread frosting over chilled cookies and serve. Makes 2 dozen.
