Ingredients:

Directions:
Mix butter, sugar, egg, vanilla and almond extract. Blend in flour, soda, and cream of tartar.

Refrigerate dough until firm (usually ½ hour).

Roll out – cut into shapes and bake at 375 degrees for 7-8 minutes – until you can see the edges of the cookies begin to turn light brown.

Cool on cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes – remove as soon as you can pick them up to a cheese cloth covered backing rack. This keeps the moisture in the cookie while cooling.

Ice with your favorite frosting recipe and store in tightly sealed container.
