Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup margarine or butter softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 t vanilla
  • ½ t almond extract
  • 2-½ cups all-purpose* or whole wheat flour
  • 1 t baking soda
  • 1 t cream of tartar
  • Granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 375°.
  • Mix powdered sugar, margarine, egg, vanilla and almond extract. Mix in flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Divide dough into halves. Roll each half 3/16 inch thick on lightly floured cloth-covered board. Cut into shapes.
  • Sprinkle with granulated sugar; place on lightly greased sheet. Bake until edges are light brown, 7 to 8 minutes.

Notes

Roll out in powdered sugar not flour
After you roll out the dough, cover with plastic wrap and put a cookie sheet with ice cubes in it on top for 10-12 minutes. The dough gets cold and makes cutting out the cookies much easier!
