Sugar Cookies (the best!)

By Conminster

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 c. sifted confectioners sugar
• 1 c. butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 tsp. almond flavoring
• 2 1/2 c. sifted all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. cream of tartar
• 1 tsp. soda
• 1 egg

Preparation

Step 1

Cream sugar and butter; add egg and flavorings; mix thoroughly. Sift dry ingredients together and stir in. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Divide dough in half and roll out on lightly floured dough board. Roll thin but thick enough to pick up the design of the cookie cutter. Cut as many cookies from each rolling as possible. The least amount of working with the dough gives the best cookie. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until delicately golden.
