The BEST Suga Cookies!

These are comperable to those $2 cookies that you can get at your local markets (& they're usually only seasonal). These are heavenly! They make about 6 cookies & if you want - you can double easily...

3/4 c powdered sugar
1/2 c softened butter - do not melt!
1 egg white (if you double the recipe - change to one whole egg (not 2 egg whites))
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/4 cups unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar


Cream together the sugar and butter, then mix in the egg white, vanilla, and almond extracts. Add flour, baking soda, and cream of tarter. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4-inch thickness. Lightly grease a baking sheet (or use parchment paper). Cut the dough with a floured cookie cutter. Transfer the cookies to the prepared sheets and bake for 9 minutes.
