Best Cut out cookies
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup butter (no substitutes)
1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 1/2 flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
Granulated sugar or colored sugar or frosting

Mix powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and egg in large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients except granulated sugar. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

2. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Divide dough in half. Roll each half 1/4 inch thick on lightly floured surface. Cut into desired shapes with 2- to 2 1/2-inch cookie cutters. Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until edges are light brown.

* the powdered sugar is the trick to the yummiest cookies.
*I like this recipe because it doesn't make a big batch.
*AND the best tip I ever got was instead of flour when rolling out the dough, mix half flour and half granulated sugar. Your cookies won't get too much flour and get thick.
