The Famous Sugar Cookies of Doom™

The cookies I mentioned way back here turned out wonderfully.  So, as promised, the recipe:

1 c butter
1 1/2 c sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 1/2 c sifted flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Cream butter and sugar together, then add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients gradually.  Chill a minimum of 3-4 hours...I made mine the night before I rolled it out.  Roll out (on generously floured counter or board...I think I worked an extra two cups of flour in this time, it was very sticky dough) to 1/8 inch and cut cookies with your favorite cookie cutters.  Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 375 for 6-8 minutes.

Supposed to make 8 dozen cookies...YMMV depending on size and the attitude of the dough.

Icing:

2 c powdered sugar
dash salt
1 tsp vanilla
enough light cream or milk to achieve desired consistency

Beat ingredients together, and add food coloring if desired.

Here’s the result:

One of the things I love about these is that they never turn out entirely neat...no matter how careful you are they always look like a kid iced them.  Purty, ain’t they?
