Equipment

  • Hand Mixer and Stand Mixer
  • Baking Sheet
  • Wire Cooling Rack

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups of powdered sugar
  • 1 cup of butter softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1½ tsp vanilla
  • 2½ cups of flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar

Other Ingredients:

  • Frosting
  • Sprinkles
  • Chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the powdered sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla until creamy and smooth.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until well combined.
  • Cover the dough very well and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll the dough to ½ inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
  • Cut cookies into whatever shapes you desire.
  • Make sure everyone gets a turn!
  • Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 7-8 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown.
  • Cool cookies on the baking sheet for a minute before transferring them to a wire cooling rack. Allow the cookies to completely cool before frosting them.
  • Once the cookies are frosted, let your little ones decorate to their heart's content. I let mine decorate with anything I had in the baking cupboard.
