Instructions: Cookie dough: 1-In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the sugars, butter, oil, eggs and vanilla. 2-Add the flour, salt, baking soda and cream of tartar; mix well. 3-Divide the dough into 4 cylinder shapes, each about 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 2 hours. To make the cookies: 4-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

5-Combine all the topping ingredients and set aside. 6-Slice the chilled dough about 1/4 inch thick and place the slices on ungreased baking sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. Using the back of a teaspoon, make a small depression in the center of each cookie and fill with about 1 teaspoon of the cherry topping. 7-Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Cool on the baking sheets, then remove the cookies, using a spatula. Jo Merrill-recipe
