Nancy's Kitchen - Tried and Tested Recipes
Deluxe Sugar Cookies
This is another tried 'n' true recipe from a Taste Of Home magazine
17
years ago.
Deluxe Sugar Cookies
1 cup butter
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond
2-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
Beat together in electric mixer bowl, the butter, sugar, egg and
extracts. Add half the flour and mix in on low. Add remaining flour,
soda and cream of tartar and beat on low just till blended into a
smooth dough. Roll out a quarter of the dough at a time on a floured
surface (they say to use powdered sugar instead of flour, but I
never have).
Roll to 1/8 inch thickness and cut into desired shapes with cutters.
(re-roll the scraps of dough, till all is used up). Place on
ungreased sheets. Bake at 350º until edges begin to brown, about 8
minutes, or so. Can sprinkle with colored sugar before baking, but I
like also to frost them with a vanilla butter icing, tinted with
different colors and put the colored "sprinkles" on the frosting
before it dries. These store
well. Makes about 3-1/2 dozen.
