Ingredients: Cookies:
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. baking soda
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. cream of tarter
Cream butter and powder sugar. Add egg, vanilla and almond extract. Blend in flour, baking soda and cream of tarter by hand with spoon. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two. Heat oven to 375º.
Take handfuls of dough and roll (you can roll them as thin or thick as you’d like, but if you roll them thicker you probably will have to adjust the cooking time) on lightly floured cloth covered board.
Cut out with different shapes and bake 7 to 8 minutes (for thinly rolled cookies) or until lightly browned.
