1 c Butter or margarine

1 1/2 c Powdered sugar

1 Egg

1 ts Vanilla

1/2 ts Almond extract

2 1/2 c Flour

1 ts Soda

1 ts Cream of tartar

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla, almond extract. Mix well. Add flour, soda, and cream of tartar until smooth. Chill dough 2-3 hours. Roll out to about 1/4″ thickness. Cut dough with cookie cutters. Bake on greased cookie sheet 7-8 minutes at 375~. These cookies are sweet and they really don’t

need any frosting, but they should be sprinkled with colored sugar before baking. They are very pretty at Christmas time. I make large stars and sprinkle half of one star with green sugar and the other half with red sugar. —–
