Cream together the granulated sugar, confectioners' sugar, butter and vegetable oil. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.

Add dry ingredients, (the next four ingredients) and mix to incorporate. Roll dough into small balls about the size of a quarter. With a heavy bottom crystal vase with a decorative bottom, or other cookie press, dip in sugar to coat well. Smash each ball of dough so they are spread out and flat. Leaving an imprint and sugar.

Cool on the baking sheet briefly then transfer to wire rack to cool the rest of the way.
