Easter/spring sugar cookies!

Spring is here and Easter is coming so, I made some sugar cookies. I think that I have done this recipe before on this blog. The almond and cream of tartar make all the difference. The icing recipe I did not follow because I just make up a recipe and it is different every time. I hope you enjoy these cookies!

2 sticks of butter

2 eggs

2 cups of flour

3/4 cups sugar

1tsp vanilla

1/2 tps almond extract

1 tsp cream of tartar

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp nutmeg

mix together

lay out on plastic rap

chill in freezer for an hour or over night

heat oven in 375 degrees

lay out all your cookie cutters. I am using the top of a vase to cut out an egg.

roll out your dough

place on greased pans

cool on cooling rack.

1/2 cup shortening
