Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c. Powdered sugar
- 1 c. Butter or possibly margarine (2 sticks) softened
- 1 x Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 2 1/2 c. All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking soda Colored sugar to decorate cookies optional Frosting optional
Directions
- Sift powdered sugar. Mixthoroughly with butter, egg, and vanilla. Blend in flour and baking soda.
- Form the dough into a ball; wrap it in plastic wrap. Place in freezer for 2 to 3 hrs or possibly chill overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Divide the dough into three portions.
- Chill two portions as you roll out the third 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick on a floured surface. (If the dough warms up, it doesn't roll out as well.)Cut into desired shapes. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. If you don't plan to frost the cookies, sprinkle with colored sugar. Bake 1/8-inch-thick cookies 6 to 8 min, 1/4-inch-thick cookies 8 to 10 min. Cookies are done when top looks dry and edges begin to turn light brown. Don't overbake.
- Immediately remove cookies from baking sheet; let cold on wire racks. Frost or possibly decorate as desired.
- Yield: about 5 dozen cookies, depending on size of cookie cutters.
- Tester's note: A traditional recipe with a sweet taste and crisp texture.
- Perfect with a warm c. of tea or possibly coffee.
