Tasty Tuesday


Cut Out Sugar Cookies

These are my go-to cookies for all of the holidays. Be sure to chill the dough well.


1 C margarine, softened
1 1/2 C confectioner's sugar
1 egg
1 t vanilla
1/2 t almond extract
2 1/2 C all purpose flour
1 t baking soda

Mix thoroughly the first 5 ingredients. Blend in flour and baking soda. Cover, chill overnight.

Heat oven to 375. Divide dough in half. Roll each half 1/4 inch thick on lightly floured cloth covered board. Cut into desired shapes. Place on parchment covered baking sheets. Bake 7-8 minutes or until light brown on edge.

Special Icing
4 C confectioner's sugar
1 large egg white
water

Beat sugar into egg white, adding 1 T of water or enough to produce the thickness of frosting that you want.

Enjoy
