Cream Cookies

Serves 40.

This is yet another recipe from my family's Norweigan church cookbook. We use it for cut-out cookies every Christmas but I've started using it for other holidays as well. It comes out pretty light and thin so it's easy to eat the cookies by the handful!

• 1 c butter
  
• 1 c sugar
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 3 T cream or half & half
  
• 3 c flour
  
• 1 tsp cream of tartar
  
• 1 tsp baking soda
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  
• 1 tsp vanilla
  

The old cookbook doesn't have much in way of instructions.

"Roll out into into thin cookies and bake in 375 F oven."

I think 1/8 to 1/4 inch thich is about right, but experiment!
