This is a recipe from my mom. I have not found one I like better yet. If you bake just right they come out soft and puffy! You can use this for any holiday just change the cutter and colored sugar.
Ingredients:
1 cup margarine or 1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
3 1/2 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Cream margarine, sugar and vanilla.
2. Add eggs.
3. Sift dry ingredients together.
4. Add to creamed.
5. Chill 3 to 4 hours.
6. I always leave over night and it is a lot easier to roll.
7. On well floured surface roll 1/4-inch thick (I roll mine a little bit thicker-it makes nice puffy cookies).
8. Use flour for rolling pin and cutters.
9. Cut to desired shapes.
10. Bake at 375° for 6-8 minutes depending on thickness of cookies.
