Christmas Cookies

These are the best cookies, ever. EVER! I double dog dare you to say they aren't! And no garbage shortening! Yippee!

1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar

Mix butter, powdered sugar, egg, vanilla and almond extracts. Blend in flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Cover. Chill 2-3 hours.

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Divide dough in half. Roll each half 3/16 inch thick on lightly floured surface. Cut into shapes and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until light brown on edge.
