However, they do not taste quite the same as the type you typically find in grocery stores or at cookie shops, so be forewarned. They also require cookie cutters, so be prepared. They are wonderful to make for holidays, as you can cut and decorate appropriately! 1 1/2 c. sifted confectioner's sugar 1 c. butter 1 egg 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. almond extract 2 1/2 c. flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. cream of tartar Mix sugar and butter. Mix in egg and flavorings. Blend dry ingredients, then stir in. Refrigerate 2-3 hours. Roll out to reasonnable thickness (sorry, I just eyeball it), cut, and bake on a lightly greased cookie sheet at 375 for 7-8 minutes. (Makes about 5 dozen.) -- rec.food.recipes is a moderated newsgroup; only recipes are accepted for posting. Please read the "Posting Guidelines" file first.
