In 2014, Taylor Swift invited fans to her mom's house and baked them cookies. Recently, those cookies went viral (again) on social media.

She used a recipe she found online but added some tweaks, plus tips for icing. The collective recipe calls for 12 ingredients.

After warming the butter up to room temperature, I whipped it with a wooden spoon and then combined it with the oil.

Then it was time to add the egg, vanilla, and both types of sugar into the mix.

Next came the rest of the dry ingredients, which made this bowl of mush start to actually resemble cookie dough.

After an hour, I took the dough out of the fridge and used a tablespoon measure to scoop out little balls of dough.

While the dough was chilling, I got started on Swift's icing. Then, I finished it off while the cookies were baking.

Once the cookies were done, I topped them off with my homemade icing and dusted them with some cinnamon.

My biggest warning would be to bake a mini-batch first to test out how your oven works with these cookies.
