1/4 cup margerine, (1/2 stick)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg, (large)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon or almond flavoring

Add egg, vanilla, flavoring and water, and mix at medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping down the bowl before and after adding these ingredients.
Stir remaining ingredients together to blend well; add to creamy mixture and mix at medium speed to blend. Form dough into 24 balls using 1-tablespoon dough per ball. Place balls on cookie sheets that have been sprayed with pan spray or lined with aluminum foil.
Press balls down evenly to 1/2-inch with the back of a tablespoon dipped in water.
