½ cup butter, softened
½ cup shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
2 large eggs
¾ cup canola oil or vegetable oil
2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cream of tartar
Colored sugar, sparkling sugars, and multicolored jimmies
4” white craft sticks
Beat butter and shortening at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy; add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, oil, and vanilla beating until blended.
Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; add to butter mixture; blending well. Cover and chill dough 2 hours or overnight.
Shape dough into1 ½” balls. Roll each ball in colored sugar or jimmies in individual bowls, pressing gently, if necessary, to coat balls. Place 2” apart on ungreased baking sheets. Insert craft sticks about 1” into each cookie to resemble a lollipop.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 11 minutes or until set. Let cool 2 minutes on baking sheets; remove cookie pops to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 4 ½ dozen.
