The BEST Sugar Cookies
2 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups of softened butter (not margarine)
1 whole egg plus 1 egg yolk
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 tsp almond flavoring
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
3 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. cream of tarter
Cream sugar, eggs, salt, butter, vanilla, almond flavoring - then add all the dry ingredients. Chill for 2 or 3 hours. Roll on floured surface. Grease lightly cookie sheet. Cook 7 to 8 minutes @ 375. If you don't roll them out - you can make walnut size balls and flatten with fork dipped in flour and then sprinkle sugar on them before baking. 1/2 tsp. lemon extract may be used instead of the almond flavoring - if you don't have it.....
I know you will enjoy these...I decorate mine with frosting and decorations, sometimes....but they are great with just sugar on them, too....Enjoy!
