Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cup(s) powdered sugar, sifted
2 cup(s) margarine
2 - eggs
2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 teaspoon(s) almond extract
2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
2 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar
5 cup(s) flour

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl; cream the powdered sugar and margarine till fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time mixing well, add in extracts, soda, crm of tartar and mix well.
  • Add in flour mixing in 1 cup at a time, till all has been added.
  • Dip out with a teaspoon and roll into a little ball; lay on cookie sheet and flatten out with the bottom of a glass, that has been dipped in granulated sugar. (spray the bottom of the glass with cooking oil spray for the first time, so sugar will stick to glass)
  • I now use a cookie scoop to dip out the dough then roll into a ball. Bake at 375* for 7 min.! Let cool on tray just a minute or so before removing; so they can firm up a little... Enjoy!

THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES

Whenever you make these cookies for someone, be sure to bring along several copies of the recipe! You will be asked for it, I promise! NOTE: I make icing with confectioners' sugar and milk. I make it fairly thin, as I 'paint' the icing on the cookies with a pastry brush. Thin enough to spread easily but not so thin that it just makes your cookies wet and runs off.
