Original Recipe from: Margaret Johnson-Hendrix
My sister shared this recipe with me almost 30 years ago. At the time I was a working mother with little kids and a very busy life. Rolling out sugar cookies just seemed like more time than I had to give the project. Once I made these, I saw no need to make traditional sugar cookies. They were just that easy. While sugar cookies are usually reserved for holiday, I like to make these cookies….just because….just because it seems like a good day to make cookies, just because they sound good. Make a batch for your loved ones….just because. Enjoy!
Ingredients
3/4 cup Sugar
1 cup Butter (do not substitute)
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 cups Flour
Directions
Cream Butter and Sugar until light and fluffy. Add Egg and Vanilla and mix. Gradually add all dry ingredients, mixing as you add. Refrigerate 2-3 hours (or overnight). Roll into tiny balls, then roll in sugar (may use colored sugar), then press with bottom of a drinking glass to flatten.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
