This recipe came from the newspaper in the small Arizona town where I grew up. We use it almost every year to make Christmas cookies. They're not too dry and are good even without any icing or candy decorations. Ingredients:
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened |
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
colored sprinkles |
candy sprinkles |
Directions:
1. Mix thoroughly butter, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla. Blend in baking soda, cream of tartar, and flour. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours.
2. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
3. Divide the dough in half, and roll each half of dough 3/16 inch thick on a lightly floured or cloth-covered board.
4. Cut into desired shapes and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Decorate with colored sugar or candy sprinkles.
5. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until light brown on the edges.
