Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • colored sanding sugar (red, green or color of choice)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 cookie sheets.
  2. In a large bowl of an electric mixer at medium speed, mix butter, sugar and vanilla just until blended.
  3. Add the egg and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Add to the butter mixture and mix at low speed until well combined.
  5. Shape the dough into 3/4-inch balls. Arrange the balls 2-inches apart on the cookie sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork as you would a peanut butter cookie. Do this one time. To prevent the fork from sticking to the cookie dough;, dip it occasionally in confectioners' sugar. Sprinkle tops of the cookies with colored sanding sugar.
  6. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly colored around the edges. Let cookies cool on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
