Deluxe Sugar Cookiescookies, holiday 1 cup butter or margarine 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 2 1/2 cup flour 1 teaspoon soda 1 teaspoon cream of tartar Cream butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla, almond extract. Mix well. Add flour, soda, and cream of tartar until smooth. Chill dough 2-3 hours. Roll out to about 1/4" thickness. Cut dough with cookie cutters. Bake on greased cookie sheet 7-8 minutes at 375~. These cookies are sweet and they really don't need any frosting, but they should be sprinkled with colored sugar before baking. They are very pretty at Christmas time. I make large stars and sprinkle half of one star with green sugar and the other half with red sugar. |
