This recipe comes from Betty Crocker herself. I have seen and tried several different sugar cookie recipes but I always come back to this one. The key is in the sugar. This recipe uses powdered sugar, not granulated. Big difference. Melt in your mouth goodness! Great for frosting or just sprinkling with crystallized sugar.
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 egg
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
Mix everything in a bowl. Form into a a big flattened disc (I like this better than a ball) and refrigerate for about 2 hours. Cut out into desired shapes. Sprinkle with crystallized sugar if you aren't going to frost them later. Bake at 375* for 7-9 minutes depending on size of cookies. Let cool and then frost if desired. Enjoy with a cup of tea!
