Butter Cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) butter 1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla 2 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp cream of tartar 1/4 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 400°.
Cream butter with an electric mixer. Add sugar gradually, cream until fluffy. Add unbeaten egg and vanilla. Beat well. Sift together dry ingredients. Blend into creamed mixture. Divide dough. Drop cookies onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden brown.
***I like to form the cookies into small balls and roll them in colored sugar.
