Cream together butter, vegetable oil, sugars, water and eggs.
Combine dry ingredients and slowly add to butter mixture.
Mix until everything is combined. Your dough should be a little crumbly and not sticky at all.
Roll golf ball size dough and place it on the cookie sheet.
Put 1/4 c (in addition to sugar that goes in the dough) of sugar in a dish. Stick the bottom of a glass in the sugar and press your cookies firmly in the center of the ball of dough. You want the dough to spill out over the sides of the glass.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-9 minutes. They should just barely be browning on the bottom. Move cookies to a cooling rack. Once they are cool, refrigerate them.
