1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
1 egg
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1. Cream together butter and sugar.
2. Add egg and blend.
3. Sift together flour, cream of tartar, and baking soda. Slowly add to butter mixture and blend.
4. Chill dough for an hour. Roll out on a floured surface to desired thickness and cut into desired shapes.
5. Bake for 8-12 minutes at 350 degrees. (Time really varies depending on thickness of dough and size of cut outs.)
Notes: The dough is really fragile, so roll using a lot of flour. If it sits out for too long and becomes unmanageable, throw it back in the fridge for another 15 minutes. These are great for decorating!
