Recipe - Best Sugar Cookies

1 One half cup Powdered Sugar; sifted
1 cup Butter Or Margarine; soften
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
One half teaspoon Almond Extract
1 Egg
2 One half cup Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Cream Of Tartar

Cream the powdered sugar and butter. Add vanilla, almond extract and egg
and combine well. Sift together the flour, baking soda and cream of tartar.
Add to sugar mixture and stir until well combined. Chill at least 23 hours
before rolling to about 1/4" thickness on lightly floured surface. Cut with
heartshaped cutter (or other shape), and place on lightly greased cookie
sheets. Bake in preheated 375` oven 78 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Makes 34 dozen cookies, depending on size of cookie cutters. NOTE: For a
fun variation, spread thawed Frozen Whipped Topping on one heartshaped
cookie, about 3/4" thick. Place another cookie the same size on top. Repeat
with as many cookies as desired. Freeze on cookie sheets about 4 hours, or
until firm. Quickly remove from sheets, and pack in an airtight container
for freezer. May be kept frozen up to 2 weeks.
