Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream together the powdered sugar, white sugar, butter, eggs and VANILLA until fluffy. Add the baking soda and CREAM OF TARTAR. Add the flour 1 cup at a time so that the mixture completely mixes. Roll into 1-inch balls or use a medium-sized cookie scoop. Press the cookie balls with a glass dipped in the various sugar crystals (or just regular sugar if desired). Alternately, sprinkle the sugar on once you have pressed the cookies flat then gently press it again just to get the sugar to stick. Bake at 375 degrees for 7-9 minutes or until the edges of the cookie are just a little bit brown. Do not over-bake or the cookies will be crunchy instead of soft.
