Looking for a yummy Christmas Cookie Recipe?

Here’s the recipe that I’ve used for the past 30 plus years.

The recipe was given to me by my mom on my first Christmas as a new bride.

I have made them every year since.  (a family favorite)

Enjoy!

Sue’s Sugar Cookies

• 1- 1/2 c. powdered sugar
• 1 c. butter or margarine
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2- 1/2 c. all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. cream of tartar
• 1 tsp. baking soda

1. Cream sugar & butter, add egg & flavoring, mix thoroughly.
2. Sift dry ingredients together and stir in.  (I dump)
3. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.
4. Heat oven to 375°.
5. Divide dough in half & roll out on lightly floured pastry sheet.
6. Roll thin, but thick enough to pick up the design with the cookie cutters.
7. Dip cookie cutter into flour before each cutting.  Cut as many cookies from each rolling as possible.  The least amount of working with the dough gives the best cookie.
8. Place on lightly greased baking sheet.  Bake 7 to 8 min. or until delicately golden.

• For the Glaze I dump around a cup of powdered sugar into a bowl.  Add a dash of vanilla.    Add milk one tablespoon at a time until you get the consistency you want.  (hint:  not too runny)
