Sugar Cookies

​

Ingredients:

1½ cups powdered sugar
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

​

Cream butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. 

Mix in the vanilla and egg.  Stir in the flour, baking soda

and cream of tartar.  Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
