Ingredients
-
1 c. butter or margarine, softened
1 1/2 c. confectioners sugar
4 Tbsp. egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond or lemon extract (optional)
2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
Preparation
-
Mix butter, sugar, egg and flavorings.
Blend in flour, soda, salt and cream of tartar.
Chill batter for 2 to 3 hours.
Divide dough into small portions; roll on lightly floured surface 1/4-inch thick.
Cut into desired shapes; place on greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with colored or white sugar before baking.
Bake 6 to 8 minutes at 375\u00b0.
I usually frost with Buttercream Icing for holidays.
These are great for icing, yet they don't get hard.
