Cut Out Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup margarine or 1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
3 1/2 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Cream margarine, sugar and vanilla.
Add eggs.
Sift dry ingredients together.
Add to creamed.
Chill 3 to 4 hours.
I always leave over night and it is a lot easier to roll.
On well floured surface roll 1/4-inch thick (I roll mine a little bit thicker-it makes nice puffy cookies).
Use flour for rolling pin and cutters.
Cut to desired shapes.
Bake at 375\u00b0 for 6-8 minutes depending on thickness of cookies.
