Cut out Cookies image

This is the recipe that has been in our family and now my sisters and I all make this each Christmas. Could be made for any holiday!!! We then make a buttercream frosting and divide it into different bowls and add different colored food coloring drops to them. My mother always made the dough and cut out the cookies and baked...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c butter, softened (don't use margarine, won't work for this cookie)
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 3/4 c flour

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar and then add in eggs.
  • 2. In a separate bowl or plastic bag, combine all dry ingredients and mix well. Mix the dry ingredients in to the butter mixture.
  • 3. Cover bowl or put dough in a plastic bag and put in the refrigerator to chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • 4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • 5. Once chilled, take approximately 1/5 of the dough and place on lightly floured surface. Roll dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness and using flour dipped cookie cutters, cut out the dough and place on cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes (oven temps vary so check around 7 mins).

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These cookies were a bit too dry. I think I overbaked them.

I had a hard time getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out too much in the oven.

These cookies were a bit too bland for my taste. I think they could have used more spices or flavoring.

I'm not a fan of these cookies. I found them to be too sweet and the texture was a bit too crumbly for my taste.
