Amish sugar cookies

4 1/2 c. flour
1 t. soda
1 t. cream of tartar
1 c. butter, softened
1 c. cooking oil
1 c. sugar
1 c. sifted powdered sugar
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 c. chopped walnuts (optional)

sift together flour, soda, and cream of tartar; set aside. Beat together butter, oil, sugar and powdered sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each. Blend in vanilla. Gradually stir in dry ingredients. Mix well. Add nuts, if desired. Using ice cream scoop, spoon six balls of dough onto a baking sheet. Flatten each with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake at 375 about 10 minutes, or until barely golden around edges.
