Alyssa's Amazing Sugar Cookies

By SaundraG

Ingredients

• 1 C sugar
• 1 C butter
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 C flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter and sugar
Add egg, vanilla and salt
Add rest of dry ingredients (they should be sifted together in advance)

The dough is VERY soft.
Roll into 1 inch balls. The recipe calls for flattening w/ a fork but I don't do this. The cookies seem to come out softer/ better w/ out that step.

Dust w/ nutmeg and sugar if desired.

Bake in 350 degree oven until very light brown - maybe 10 minutes.
