Basic Rolled Sugar Cookies -- Cut Outs

Serves 5.

This is my tried and true cut-out sugar cookie recipe. It's an old Betty Crocker recipe.

• 1-1/2 c powdered sugar
  
• 1 c butter, softened
  
• 1 egg
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
  
• 2-1/2 c flour, all purpose
  
• 1 tsp baking soda
  
• 1 tsp cream of tartar
  

Beat together powdered sugar and butter. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in extracts. Stir together flour, baking soda and cream of tartar and add stir into batter. Chill three hours.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Roll to 3/16 inch and cut into shapes. Place on lightly greased (I prefer lined) baking sheets and bake for 7-8 minutes.
