Hi Phil, this is for a soft SUGAR COOKIE, not crispy.

1 C butter- softened 1 1/2 C powder sugar 1 tsp. baking soda - dissolved in water(2T) 2 Tbsp. water (above w/soda) 1 tsp. cream of tartar 1 egg 1 tsp. vanilla 2 1/2 - 3 C flour

Cream first 7 ing., add flour slowly, not to stiff, workable, more flour will be added as you roll out. Chill well, overnight if fine. Roll out on floured surface 1/8 thick, too thick won't look like shape of cookie cutter, add more flour if sticky, too much flour will make them taste pasty. Bake at 350 for 8 - 10 mins., (light brown on bottom) on greased cookie sheets.

I use these for x-mas cookies, & other holidays. I usually frost with powder sugar & milk frosting, add food color to frosting & sprinkles on top, cool well before frosting, can also use canned frosting. Works good to freeze, layer with wax paper, except if cream cheese or butter in frosting (separates). Makes big batch, like 2 - 3 ice cream buckets (freezer), I do this with kids (to decorate) at x-mas & give away, its an all day project. I start with half dough, leave rest in fridg., until I get a system going, it rolls best cold. For me it works best to roll & finish baking, before I start decorating, or I start burning cookies. Have fun, Mable
