Sugar Cookies:
1 cup butter ( room temperature )
1¼ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup powdered sugar
¾ cup oil (vegetable/canola)
2 Tbsp water
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
5½ cups all-purpose flour ( stir, scoop, and level the flour when you measure it )
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp salt
*an extra ¼ cup sugar for flattening the cookies
Buttercream Frosting:
6 Tbsp butter ( room temperature )
6 Tbsp solid coconut oil (I use LouAna Coconut Oil. All coconut oils are different; try to find one that says there is no coconut flavor or aroma. If you don\'t have coconut oil, you can substitute with shortening, but I highly recommend the coconut oil.)
3 cups powdered sugar
1½ tsp pure vanilla
1½ Tbsp milk
red food coloring; optional
