Pecan Sandies - Can be made Vegan!

Down at Sweet Sue's Bakery in North Beach, MD they make the best Pecan Sandies.  Unfortunately, I got the urge and I am not down at the beach.  So I had to make my version of these delectable cookies.  They taste even better than the Keebler version, but not quite as good as Justin's at Sweet Sue's!  To make these you will need:
1/2 cup butter (Vegan - Earth Balance), softened
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg (Vegan - Egg replacer or 1/4 cup applesauce
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans
1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar for decoration


1.)  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2.)  In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, vegetable oil, 1 cup white sugar and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the pecans. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and roll each ball in remaining white sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. 
3.)  Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are golden. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
