Super Sugar Cookies

In honor of Valentine's day, I have this awesome recipe for Sugar cookies That I got from a friend Heather Smith, many years ago. Heather and I both were Creative Memories Consultants and she did a family cookbook that I was lucky enough to get a copy of.

I guess having powdered sugar and butter in your food storage is a necessity for these melt in your mouth cookies!
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
1 c. butter
1 t vanilla
1/2 t almond extract
1 egg
2 1/2 c flour
1 t baking soda
1 t cream of tartar
Mix powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and almond extract, add egg. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
Heat over to 375 degrees.
Divide dough in half. Roll dough out to 1/4" thick on a lightly floured- (with powdered sugar if you like)surface. cut into desired shapes and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
bake 7-8 mins. until edges are slightly brown...DO NOT OVER BAKE!

Frost with your favorite frosting.
