“These are some of the best sugar cookies you’ll ever taste!  Kids love them and they’re great to send on trips for munchies!”

1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp cream of tartar

Combine ingredients in the usual way.  Roll dough 1/8 – 1/4″ thick.  Cut in shapes (use floured board.)  Bake on greased cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 5-7 minutes.  (Dough can be chilled but isn’t necessary.)  Frost.  (Can sprinkle with sugar prior to baking.)
