Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 cookie sheets.
- In a large bowl of an electric mixer at medium speed, mix butter, sugar and vanilla just until blended.
- Add the egg and mix well.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Solid, stick-to-your-rib cookies that hold molds and impressed images beautifully. Modified from House On The Hill. These are wonderful with hot tea or coffee, and my 3 yr old son loves them, even when I forgot the lemon oil.

Steps:
- Mix sugar, salt, butter, cream cheese, almond and vanilla extract, and egg yolk together well.
- Stir in flour until well blended.
- Chill dough for at least 30 minutes (I've chilled mine a little less than 24 hours but I wouldn't suggest going over that.).
- After You've taken the dough out of the chilled area (sometimes I use the garage) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- On a lightly floured surface roll out 1/3-1/2 of the dough.
- Cut the dough to holiday shapes and place on an ungreased pan. (The cookies do not expand very much while cooking, so you can place them close together.).
- Here's where you can use the egg white! Spread the egg white over the top of the cookie and add sprinkle if you would like, or leave them plain and add frosting later!
- Bake the cookies 10 minutes (or until they're a light brown).
- Let cookies cool completely before adding any frosting.
CRISP BUTTER COOKIES (REFRIGERATOR COOKIES)

- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, add the softened butter, sugar, and salt. Cream everything together until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is light yellow and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. You can use a hand mixer on high speed or use a whisk by hand.
- Next, add the egg and vanilla into the bowl and beat it together until it's fully incorporated. About 1 minute.
- Sift in the cake flour in three parts and mix together on medium speed until the flour is fully incorporated. The dough will be thick and sticky. Be careful not to over mix the dough as you want to minimize gluten development.
- Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large closed star tip. I use Ateco piping tips. I recommend Ateco 846 or Ateco 844. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Pipe rosettes, straight lines, or any other shape you want.
