Angel Crisps - Cookies

These are one of my favourite cookies ever!

They taste like those almond cookies you get at the Chinese restaurant, except there are no almonds in this recipe. These are SO good!

I use a small cookie scoop but you can make them bigger. If you like crisp cookies, then you need to make these! Even if you don't like crisp cookies, you still need to make these! I'm always looking for chewy cookies, but I really love these!

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F and place rack one level above the centre.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, shortening, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup white sugar until smooth.
3. Beat in the egg, and stir in the vanilla.
4. Combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt; beat into the creamed mixture.

6. Bake for 7-8 minutes or until they start to turn golden. Cool on wire racks.

Tips

• The original recipe called for a higher oven temperature but I followed the recipe with the first batch and they burned. I lowered the temperature and raised the rack a notch and they were perfect.
