Christmas Cut-out Cookies image

Been using this recipe for my Christmas cookies for many, many years ! It is the easiest dough to work with and the taste is the best of all the cut-out-cookies I have ever tested. My husband , daughters and I get together every year and enjoy decorating these cookies.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c (2 sticks) of butter
1 1/2 c sifted confectioners sugar
1 egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 c sifted all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400Df Cream butter thoroughly. Add sugar gradually and continue beating until mixture is light and fluffly. Beat in egg and vanilla. sift together dry ingredients. Gradually add to cream mixture and mix to thoroughly blended. Roll dough to 1/8" on floured surface use cookie cutter to desired shapes. Bake 6-8 Minutes ~ yields about 6 dozen (depending on size of the cut-outs you use)
  • 2. Note: I like to put the dough in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes so it is easier to roll out. Use colored conf. sugar and sprinkles or jimmies to decorate.

These cookies were easy to make, but they didn't turn out as I expected. They were a bit too dry.
