Melt In Your Mouth Sugar Cookies Recipe
If you’re looking for an easy and delicious sugar cookie recipe, this is it! These are my favorite Melt In Your Mouth Sugar Cookies…and I really mean “melt in your mouth”!
A dear friend served these as a dessert many years ago and I’ve been in love ever since. They’re light and have a wonderful almond flavor. They’re so simple because there’s no rolling out the dough…just roll into balls.
I prefer to roll them in cinnamon and sugar, but for a holiday change, the cookies may be dipped in colored granulated sugar for a variety of colored cookies.
Best (melt in your mouth) sugar cookie you will ever eat AND the easiest, too!

Soften two stick of butter.
Cream together the butter, sugars and oil. Beat in 2 eggs.
Use a measuring cup and level off the flour, as shown above, then add 4 heaping tablespoons, in addition to the 4 cups.
Next, add in the salt, baking soda, cream of tartar, vanilla flavoring and almond extract. Together with the creamed butter mixture, mix everything together, well.
Roll in small balls and dip in sugar/cinnamon. Using your finger, lightly press each cookie flat and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 10 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on the first batch to make sure 10 minutes is right for your oven. They should be a light golden brown when they are done.
