Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Christmas Cookies

Well we are getting down to crunch time for the Christmas holiday. I have all my packages in the mail and on their way so now I can get busy with the baking! :)

This is my recipe for sugar cookies. I have had this recipe for.... I can't remember how long and these have always been a big hit at Christmas time. I think what makes them so soft is that you use powdered sugar for them. So here is the recipe..........

CREAM TOGETHER:

    1 ½ CUPS OF SIFTED POWDERED SUGAR

    1 CUP BUTTER OR MARGERINE (TUB STYLE)

ADD & BLEND IN:

    1 EGG

    1 TSP VANILLA

    ½ TSP ALMOND EXTRACT

STIR IN:

    2 ½ CUPS OF FLOUR

    1 TSP CREAM OF TARTER

    1 TSP BAKING SODA

REFRIGERATE AT LEAST 2 HOURS. HEAT OVEN TO 375 DEGREES. DIVIDE DOUGH IN HALF-ROLL AND PUNCH OUT COOKIE SHAPES. BAKE APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES.

Frost with your choice of frosting. I use powder sugar frosting. And then...walla....you have sugar cookies! :)

Enjoy the Christmas season and have fun baking!
