No Roll Sugar Cookies

A few weeks ago when I was looking for something to bake, I stumbled across this recipe on Pinterest.  It's very easy to make and the work is quite worth it.  I am putting down the ingredients doubled because the original recipe only makes 2 dozen.  But when I made this, by doubling the recipe I got 6 dozen cookies, but didn't triple the recipe.  If you wish only to make 2-3 dozen, then just reduce the ingredients by half.  Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup butter, unsalted
1 cup shortening
3 1/3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 eggs (yes, seriously!)
3 1/2 cups flour

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350°F.  Cream butter and shortening on medium until combined.  Add sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt.  Continue beating until fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.  Add in eggs and vanilla until combined.  Beat in flour a little bit at a time.  Roll into balls and place on cookie sheet.  Bake 15-17 minutes or until just set (you do not want the cookies to brown).  Cool on the cookie sheet about 3 minutes and cool completely on wire rack.
