Really-Good Cut-Out Cookies

Christmas is not complete without our favorite cut-out cookie recipe. We make them every year the day of our Christmas dinner. It hasn't been without trauma since we have varying degrees of perfection required for frosting. We keep coming back to the experience so it must have meaning. Here is the recipe. The name is for real, from a school cookbook.


Really-Good Cut-Out Cookies

1 cup butter

1 1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. almond flavoring (or 1 tsp vanilla)

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp cream of tartar

Mix ingredients in order listed. Cool one hour. Then cut in desired shapes. Bake at 375 degrees for 7-8 minutes.


Edited to add photos of the 2008 cookies. Made with gluten free flour!
