1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 c. margarine or butter, softened
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. lemon extract
2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
Mix powdered sugar, margarine,
egg, vanilla and lemon extract.
Stir in flour, baking soda and
cream of tartar. Cover and
refrigerate at least 3 hours. Heat
oven to 375 degrees. Divide dough
into quarters. Roll each quarter
3/16 inch thick on lightly floured
cloth covered board (leave
remainder in refrigerator). Cut
into desired shapes. Sprinkle with
granulated sugar (optional). Place
on lightly greased cookie sheet
(or use parchment paper). Bake
until edges are light brown, 7 to
9 minutes.
Makes about 5 dozen. Store in
airtight container or freeze.
For Stained glass cookies:
Either divide dough in half, or
make 2 batches. Color half with
food coloring (or divide further
for more colors). Roll first color
out 1/8 inch thick, cut into
desired shapes, and place on
cookie sheet 1 inch apart. Roll
next color, cut and place on top
of first color. Then bake as
above.
