Sandy's Super Sugar Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

• 5.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups butter, room temperature
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt to ensure a smooth and even mixture.
3. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and white sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, blend in the vanilla extract. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, making sure to beat well after each addition. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture on low speed until just combined.
4. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions, and refrigerate 3 of them. Roll out the remaining portion on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Use cookie cutters to create your desired shapes, and carefully transfer the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat the rolling, cutting, and baking process with the remaining dough portions.
