Gma Lassen sugar cookie

Hi, Heather! - Here's the recipe -

1 1/2 c. powdered sugar

1 c. softened butter

1 egg

1 t. vanilla

1/2 t. almond extract

Mix (beat) till thoroughly blended and combined. 

2 1/2 c. flour

1 t. baking soda

1 t. cream of tartar

Sift together the dry ingredients with a wire whisk.  Gradually add to the butter mixture, blending in after each 1/2 c. of dry ingredients.

Divide into 2 portions.  Put in a large ziplock bag and shape into a flat disk.  Refrigerate till firm (about 2 hours).

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Lightly butter cookie sheets.  Roll chilled dough out to 3/16 inch thickness.  Cut out.  Bake for 7-8 minutes, till edges are light brown.

I frost with butter cream frosting:

1/3 c. softened butter

3 c. powdered sugar

1 - 1 1/2  t. vanilla

2-3 T. milk

Beat till very smooth and fluffy.  Be careful not to add too much milk.  Add food coloring and frost.

ENJOY!!  I did try to find a better recipe this year - but the ones I tried did not compare.  This one is from my Betty Crocker cookbook.  Have a great day, Heather.  Let me know how these turn out.  Love.
