Instructions

  • Cream butter, oil, and sugar together until smooth and light. Stir in eggs and vanilla and whip until light and fluffy. Stir in dry ingredients slowly until all incorporated.
    3/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup canola oil, 2 cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 3 cups all purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Refrigerate dough for 2-3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. You'll want the dough to be 1/4'-1/2' thick. Cut into shapes using cookie cutters and place 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake 7-9 minutes or until barely golden brown. Cool 5 minutes before removing to cooling rack.

  • For the frosting, stir butter, sugar, and vanilla together with the mixer on low. Slowly pour in milk until frosting starts to come together and becomes thick, light, and fluffy. {Go slow to make sure it stays on the thicker side!} Whip 1 minute.
