Diane’s Sugar Cookies
Description
A classic rolled sugar cookie made with confectioner's sugar, butter, vanilla, almond extract, and cream of tartar — refrigerated, rolled thin, cut into shapes, and baked until just barely golden. The combination of vanilla and almond extracts gives these an unmistakably rich flavor that sets them apart from basic sugar cookies.
