Sugar Gems


1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 lb margarine (I've never used butter)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups white flour
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Mix sugars, margarine, oil and egg.
Stir in rest of ingredients.
Roll in small walnut sized balls.
Flatten with the bottom of a beverage glass that has been sprayed with vegetable oil and dipped in sugar.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.
They will NOT be brown when finished. Do not over bake. Leave on cookie sheets for 5 minutes and then remove to cool.
