Stepwise Method:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the canola oil, water, and add the egg. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cold salted butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until creamy.
- Once cookies are completely cooled, spread frosting generously on top of each cookie.
Notes
- Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a touch of almond extract to the frosting.
- Feel free to experiment with different food coloring for a fun twist.
