The Absolute Ultimate Christmas Cutout Sugar Cookie
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
Granulated sugar
Mix thoroughly the butter, confectioners' sugar, egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Blend in the flour, soda, and cream of tartar. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours. Heat the oven to 375 F. Divide the dough in half. Roll each half to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured cloth-covered board. Cut into desired shapes. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until light brown around the edges. Makes about 5 dozen 2 inch cookies depending on the size of cookie cutter used.
