Mom's Deluxe Sugar Cookies

1 cup butter
1 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
granulated sugar


 Mix thoroughly butter, confectioners sugar, egg, vanilla and almond extract.
Blend in flour, soda and cream of tartar. Cover; chill 2 to 3 hours.

Heat oven to 375. Divide dough in half.
Roll each half 3/16 inch thick on lightly floured cloth covered board.
Cut into desired shapes: sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Place on lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until light brown on edge.


Personal note. I prefer to have my cookies a bit thicker  than the 3/16" the recipe calls for.
                     Also like the cookies frosted instead of the sugar on them. 

Enjoy...be creative

Love , Mom
