Ingredients

1-1/2 sticks margarine, softened

1-1/2 cups confectioner's sugar

1 egg

1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

2-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cream of tartar

Granulated sugar for sprinkling

Directions

  1. Cream margarine and sugar in mixer, beating well until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat well. Add vanilla until combined. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking soda and cream of tartar three times. Add to creamed mixture. Beat until combined. Form dough into a ball, cover and chill at least one hour. 
  2. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place a clean dishcloth on the work surface and lightly flour the cloth. Place dough on cloth and roll thin, 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch. Cut into circles or other desired shapes. Carefully transfer cookies to baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar. (Will need to bake in several batches.) Bake 7 to 10 minutes or just until brown around the edges. Cool a few minutes on baking sheet, then remove to rack to cool completely.

Cook’s Note

Be sure to sift the flour before measuring.
