Sugar Cookie Recipe

Filed Under: Dessert, Recipes Tagged With: baking 1 Comment

For all of you inspired to make cut out cookies this weekend…
I doubled this recipe when we made the pumpkin cookies.

DECORATE THESE SUGAR COOKIES
1 Cup Butter or Margarine
1 egg
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. cream of tartar

Cream butter. Gradually add powdered sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and flavorings. Combine dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture beating well. Cover and chill at least 3 hours. Roll and cut with cookie cutters or sharp knife to make original shapes. (A steak knife works well.) Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 8 minutes.
Note: My mom got this recipe from my aunt Angie. It is the best sugar cookie I have found for cutting and frosting. They melt in your mouth.

Click for the decorator frosting recipe that I used. I tripled this recipe so we had plenty for different colors and we had plenty to use. Next time I would just double it.

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
