Ingredients:  
1 & 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg
2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tarter
Directions:
Directions:
Mix powdered sugar and butter until creamy. Add in vanilla, almond extract and egg. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours. (I usually make the dough the day before I plan to bake the cookies.)
Heat oven to 375º. Divide dough into fourths. Roll each fourth about 3/16" thick on a lightly floured smooth surface. (Not too thin, not too thick)
It helps to put a little flour on the rolling pin too! Cut into desired shapes and place them onto greased (I use Pam) cookie sheets. Bake about 9 minutes or so. Frost and decorate cooled cookies.

This is the recipe for the Christmas tree cookies we've had every year. It wouldn't be Christmas without them according to Kevin Broach!
