Title: Best Sugar Cookies

Categories: Cookies

Yield: 36 servings

1 1/2 c Powdered sugar; sifted

1 c Butter or margarine; soften

1 ts Vanilla extract

1/2 ts Almond extract

1 Egg

2 1/2 c Flour

1 ts Baking soda

1 ts Cream of tartar

Cream the powdered sugar and butter. Add vanilla, almond extract and egg

and combine well. Sift together the flour, baking soda and cream of tartar.

Add to sugar mixture and stir until well combined. Chill at least 2-3 hours

before rolling to about 1/4 thickness on lightly floured surface. Cut with

heart-shaped cutter (or other shape), and place on lightly greased cookie

7-8 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Makes 3-4 dozen cookies, depending on size of cookie cutters.

NOTE: For a fun variation, spread thawed Frozen Whipped Topping on one

heart-shaped cookie, about 3/4 thick. Place another cookie the same size

on top. Repeat with as many cookies as desired. Freeze on cookie sheets

about 4 hours, or until firm. Quickly remove from sheets, and pack in an

airtight container for freezer. May be kept frozen up to 2 weeks.
