Vanilla Butter Rollouts

 

1 1/2 cups butter, softened

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 eggs

3 tsp vanilla extract

4 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cream of tartar

1 tsp salt

Frosting:

6 tablespoons butter, softened

3 cups confectioners sugar

1/4 cup milk

3 teaspoons vanilla extract

Colored frosting and/or colored sugar, optional

 

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time,

beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Combine flour, baking

soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture. Cover

and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle. On a lightly floured

surface, roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with 2 1/2 inch cookie cutters

dipped in flour. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350

F for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets and cool

on wire racks. For the frosting, combine butter, confectioners sugar, milk, and

vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat until smooth. Spread or drizzle over the cooled

cookies. Decorate with colored frosting and colored sugar if desired. Yield:

about 7 dozen depending on desired shape
