CLASSIC OLD-FASHIONED SUGAR COOKIES
Handed down from my great-grandmother Ferdig, this classic sugar cookie recipe is rich in flavor and can be cut thick for softer cookies or rolled paper-thin for crispy cookies. They freeze very well and I've never found a recipe I like better ... but then I am a little biased. Prep time does not include time to chill cookie dough.

Steps:
- Combine baking soda, cream of tartar and flour mixing well. With your hands, knead in softened butter.
- In a small bowl, beat eggs and mix well with sugar and vanilla.
- Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and again using your hands, mix this really well.
- Chill dough. It will be quite hard when it is completely chilled. Using a table knife, cut off chunks to roll out on a well-flour surface to desired thickness - thin cookies will get crispy when baked, thicker cookies will puff and stay soft. Cut into desired shapes.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven until the edges begin to brown; be careful not to overcook if you want them to stay soft after cooling!
- After completely cooled, decorate the cookies. These will freeze really well!

[email protected]These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
