Melt In Your Mouth Sugar Cookies (sugar free)

By Judy Meza Taylor


Oven: 300 degrees

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups splenda
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla (this is my amount)
1 3/4 cup flour
brown sugar for coating

Preheat oven to 300. In a large bowl combine butter and shortening. Beat with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg yolks, and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in brown sugar. Place balls 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges are set. (Do not let edges brown)
