Ingredients
-
1/2 c. shortening or butter (butter makes a richer cookie)
1/2 c. margarine
1 c. sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
Preparation
-
Combine all ingredients in a normal fashion.
Roll into small balls and put on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Press down with a flat-bottom glass, dipped in water (first press) and then dipped in granulated sugar (second press).
Repeat after every couple of cookies.
Bake in a 375\u00b0 oven for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how dark you like them.
Undercook and leave on cookie sheet for a few minutes before removing for light color cookies.
Ovens may vary and 350\u00b0 may be better if they are baking too fast.
