Sugar Cookies



From the kitchen of AnnMarie Barkwell



_______________________________________


These cookies are a year round favorite. Use cookie cutters to fit the occasion. Top cookies with sugar, sprinkles, cookie frosting, royal icing, confectioner sugar glaze, shiny icing, melted white chocolate... There are so many possibilities!



Cream:

1 c butter

Add:

1 c sugar

3 eggs

After adding the following, keep mixer on low.

This makes a thick dough.

Add:

3 1/2 c flour

1 tsp b. soda

2 tsp cream of tartar

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp almond extract

Chill dough for at least 1 hour.


Roll a portion of dough on floured surface to 1/4" thick.

I always use plastic wrap below & above dough so it won't stick.

Use cookie cutters as close as possible.

Re-rolling dough too often will result in tough cookies.

Sprinkle with sugar/ sprinkles OR leave plain to frost.


Bake on ungreased sheet @ 375, time varies depending on size, but approximately 7 minutes.


Makes 3 dozen large cookies.
