Sugar Cookies

by Nancy Phelan

1.5 cup sifted confectioners sugar
1 cup margarine
1 egg
1 t. vanilla extract
0.5 t. almond flavoring
2.5 cups sifted flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. cream of tartar

Cream sugar and margarine. Mix in egg and flavorings. Stir dry ingredients together and blend into creamed mixture. Refrigerate 2-3 hours. Roll out, cut out, decorate (sprinkles), bake.
If you've got more time at hand (and probably kids in the house), you can decorate them with the following frosting:

1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 dash of salt
0.5 t. vanilla extract
enough water to mix smooth
optional: add food coloring
