Directions:
Cream butter and sugar, egg, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Sift flour, baking soda and cream of tartar together. Gradually stir into creamed mixture to make a smooth dough. Chill in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 325ºF. Roll into 1" balls and dip in sugar, Place 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Leave on cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes (to firm up a bit); then cool on a wire cooling rack.

Variation:
You can use almond extract in place of the vanilla extract and frost with almond flavored butter frosting. Use colored sugar or jimmies for Christmas festivities.--Pat
You can use lemon extract in place of the vanilla extract, which is quite tasty, too. --Tami

Personal Notes:
These cookies are a must-have for the Holidays. They are made each and every year and we have to make several batches because they are that good. We have never frosted them. They are perfect just as they are!--Tami
