Time 6m

Yield 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter (I use 1/2 butter and 1/2 margarine-the dough doesn't melt as fast)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar.
  • Beat until light. Add egg and vanilla.
  • Beat until fluffy.
  • Add dry ingredients. Stir just until mixed.
  • Refrigerate. Roll, cut and bake for 6 minutes at 350° on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Cool, frost and decorate.
  • Variations: Spread unbaked shapes with egg white and decorate with sprinkles-then bake. Add 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans here in Texas). Roll in 1" balls.
  • Bake, cool and toss in a paper lunch sack with confectioner's sugar to coat. Roll dough in 1" balls.
  • Bake, cool and toss in paper bag with sugar/cinnamon mixture to coat. Add 1 cup of candied fruits to dough.
  • Roll in 1" balls. Bake and cool.
  • Divide dough in half.
  • Color dough and use dough as basis of pinwheel cookies or checkerboard cookies.
