Christmas Butter Cookies

 These cookies could be made for any holiday but changing up the roll ins.  Pick your favorite Christmas ones and start baking. 

I only baked a couple of the green ones but there are other varieties too. 

This is a very basic butter cookie recipe. 

Start with 3 sticks softened butter.

Add 1 1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs 

Plus 2 egg yolks

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cream of tartar plus 1 teaspoon salt

Add 4 cups all purpose flour. Add a little at a time.  

Scoop your dough and roll into small balls.  Then roll in whatever decorations you would like. 

Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 9-11 minutes.
