Nancy's Christmas Sugar Cookies

By Addie

MY NOTES: These cookies taste so good and Jenny and Jason love them but I don't like the fact that they flatten out so much, which is the result, I guess, of using all butter, but it's the butter that gives them such a wonderful flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Cream together butter, egg and sugar. Add all other ingredients and mix thoroughly. Form into balls and roll in colored sugar - red and green are best. Flatten SLIGHTLY with the bottom of a glass. Bake on UNGREASED cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
