Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 well beaten eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/2-2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp cream of tarter
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Cream the butter and the sugar
  • Add the well beaten eggs and mix well
  • Sift the flour, and add the salt, baking soda, and cream of tarter.
  • Mix thoroughly, and add vanilla.
  • Roll dough in thin sheet 1/8th of an inch thick and Cut with a floured cookie cutter and place on a slightly greased baking sheet
  • Bake in hot oven (400 degrees) for about 10 minutes
  • If you bake the cookies longer than 10 minutes..they will be crisper. I like a soft cookie so I bake mine like Grandma did....about 10 minutes so the cookies are light colored but have a slightly brown edge.
