Christmas Cut Outs

*** UPDATED 12/7/08****

This is another old recipe from a friend of my Mom's. We usually frost these with a powdered sugar/water/almond extract/food coloring glaze. This year I am going to give Royal Icing a go!

Cut-Outs

1 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
1 cup butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp almond extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp cream of tarter

1. Cream sugar, butter, egg & extracts.
2. Add flour & cream of tarter
3. Chill 2 hours
4. Roll out on floured surface, 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick, cut out with floured cookie cutters
5. Bake 375 for 7-8 minutes on a greased cookie sheet.

Recipe is easily doubled or tripled depending on your needs!
