Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • green & blue food coloring

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375. Add the butter, vegetable oil, sugar, and powdered sugar to a bowl. Mix for a couple minutes. Add egg and vanilla and mix until just combined.
  2. Add flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and mix until just combined. Divide the dough in half and add a couple drops of green food coloring to one half, and blue to the other. Mix until the color is evenly distributed.
  3. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, grab about 1 tbsp of each color of dough. Smoosh the colors together and form into a ball. Roll the ball in your hands to get a smooth finish.
  4. Put up to 12 cookies on a baking sheet and bake at a 375 for 8 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely and enjoy!
