Best Ever Sugar Cookies...


This was the recipe New Heights church gave to volunteers baking for the fall festival.  
They are the best cut-out cookies I've ever had.  We've had this recipe since probably October 1999.

Best Ever Sugar Cookies
a recipe from New Heights Church, Vancouver Washington

1 cup unsalted butter (two sticks)
11/2 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar



Cream the butter and add the rest of the ingredients.

No need to chill- just roll out and cut with cookie cutters.

Bake at 375 degrees for 5-7 minutes

Notes:
After putting the cookies on the baking sheet I usually put the sheet in the freezer or fridge for a couple minutes, the cookies seem to stay flatter.  If decorating with egg yolk paint, decorate before baking.
