These cookies don't have that fancy swirl that came on the holiday cookies in the tins, but that is a SMALL price to pay in exchange for how easy these are to make.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Method
- Cream the room temperature butter until it is light and creamy (about a minute or so).
- Add 1 egg and the vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy (about another minute).
- Mix the flour, baking soda and cream of tarter in a small bowl and add it to the beaten butter, half cup at a time, mixing only long enough to combine well after each addition of flour.
- Roll into 1" balls and then roll them in granulated sugar. Place them on lightly greased baking sheet 3" apart. (Note: I spray my cookie sheet with vegetable spray, then wipe most of it off with a paper towel).
- Once on the cookie sheet, lightly press them down a little with a fork and add an extra pinch of sugar on top of the raw cookie.
- Bake in pre-heated 350F oven for 10-11 minutes or just until the outer edges are golden. My electric oven takes 11 minutes.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool ON THE PAN for 3-4 minutes, then transfer them to a cookie rack to cool completely.
