Powdered Sugar Cookies
1-1/2 C Powdered Sugar
1C Butter (or Butter flavor Crisco)
1 egg
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Almond Extract
2-1/2 C Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Cream or Tartar
Cream Wet, Mix Dry, Blend together with mixer.
I usually separate into 2 or 3 different chunks and knead in a little
dye to each (in festive colors)
Chill the dough if too sticky to roll
Roll to 1/8" to 1/4" thick & use cookie cutters
375 degree oven, 7 - 8 min (or till done)
Makes about 5 dozen

They ARE! I have a recipe almost exactly this -- and they are great! So
light! Powdered sugar makes the best sugar cookies.

Aunt Irma's Sugar Cookies
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled & sliced*
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
* MUST use butter. NO substitutes!
In a medium-sized bowl. Stir together the flour, baking soda, cream of
tartar and salt. Place 1 cup of the sugar in a large bowl and cut in the
butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Using a wooden spoon, beat in the eggs and vanilla. Add the dry
ingredients and beat until blended. Knead the dough by hand on a lightly
floured surface, adding just enough flour to prevent the dough from
sticking for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease two
cookie sheets. Using your hands. Roll the dough into walnut size balls.
Roll them in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Place 12 balls on each cookie
sheet. Using the bottom of a glass dipped into the sugar, flatten each
ball to about 1/4 inch thickess. Bake until light brown,12-15 minutes.
Makes approx. 4-5 dozen
