CLASSIC SUGAR COOKIES
As you might expect from Betty Crocker, these are the classic version of a sugar cookie-the kind your grandma or even great-grandma would recognize. These cookies are the originals that provided a sweet, universally lovable starting point for generations of bakers to riff on, and we stand by them just as they are. With a tender, short texture that comes from a good buttery base, they break with just the right balance of bend and snap. And the taste? When we recently baked up a few batches for pre-Christmas testing, person after person in the Test Kitchens said, "Now THAT is a sugar cookie." While flavor and texture are arguably the key criteria on which cookies should be judged, when it comes to sugar cookies, there's another important factor: how easy they are to decorate. It's crucial that sugar cookie dough can be easily turned into cookies that are equal parts decorative and delicious. During our most recent testing of this recipe, we also noticed that there were no instructions for a glaze in this recipe. Not wanting to leave you-or your cookies-high and dry, we tested a few glazes. The one we landed on is simple and made with common pantry staples, but the magic is in the ratio of ingredients-we ensured that it results in a glaze that's easily tintable, covers smoothly and dries firmly so that you can stack the finished cookies without fear of smudging them. However you chose to decorate them, dress these classic sugar cookies up in holiday style and they'll be the star of every Christmas gathering.

- Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely.
- In medium bowl, beat 3 cups powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons milk and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla with spoon until smooth and spreadable. If frosting is too stiff to spread, add additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time. Tint with food color. Spread frosting on cooled cookies. Decorate as desired with colored sugar or candy sprinkles. Let stand about 4 hours or until frosting is set. Store covered in airtight container at room temperature with waxed paper between layers.

DELUXE SUGAR COOKIES
The flavor of this sugar cookie is special and the cookie itself is so versatile. You can sugar them, frost them, roll them out & use cookie cutters or shape them by hand. I've done it all, and never had a complaint yet. I've even shaped them into a log, made Christmas bells or hearts, and sliced them just before...

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extracts. Combine flour, baking soda and cream of tartar; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Chill for at least 1 hour or until easy to handle. (If you're making the log, do that now and wrap in waxed paper, then refrigerate. When chilled, just slice & bake.)
- 2. Divide dough into fourths. On a surface lightly sprinkled with confectioners' sugar, roll out the dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut into desired shapes. Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- 3. Bake at 375° for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
- 4. Whisk or whip with mixer all frosting ingredients together till smooth, adding a little milk at a time till it is the right spreading consistency. Have fun decorating your cookies and include the kiddies! Enjoy! The flavor of this sugar cookie is special and the cookie itself is so versatile.

Steps:
- Mix powdered sugar, butter, egg, vanilla and almond extract. Stir in flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Note: I make mine in my stand mixer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Or, you can freeze this dough up to 3 months. Bake: Heat oven to 350°F. Divide dough into halves. Roll each half about 3/6-inch thick on a lightly floured surface, making sure to add flour to your rolling pin. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet (I use parchment paper). Bake until edges are light brown, 9 to 11 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Frost and decorate as desired. Easy glaze: I prefer to measure the ingredients in ounces, with a scale, so I've provided volume measurements as well. Using a fine mesh sieve, I whisk the powdered sugar into a bowl to get rid of any lumps. This makes for a very smooth glaze. Mix all of the ingredients together. Stir until smooth; a fork works fine, but a whisk is best. The glaze should be thick, but soft enough to "settle" when you spread it. If the glaze is too thick, dribble in another teaspoon of milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time. Add food color, if you like; gel paste food colors are preferable, as they yield vibrant color, and don't alter the liquid/sugar ratio as regular food colors might. There are different ways you can apply the glaze to cookies. I took the easy route and spooned the frosting. A zip-loc bag could be come a disposable bag, with a small corner cut out. You can then outline the shape of the cookie, and then "flood" it in with more frosting. Allow at least 2 hours for the frosting to set. Just don't lay the glaze on too thick. If you want to add sprinkles, add them right on top of the glaze, before it sets.

DELUXE SUGAR COOKIES
This is the Betty Crocker deluxe sugar cookie recipe. I use it for rolled out sugar cookies instead of rolling in balls and in sugar before baking. It works great as long as u keep it chilled and work in small batches of dough at a time. I think it makes such a soft tender dough because of the powdered sugar and cream of tartar....

Steps:
- 1. Combine butter, powdered sugar, cream together for 2 minutes, add egg and flavorings and beat another minute in KitchenAid stand mixer bowl. Mix until creamed on setting 3. Blend flour, baking soda, salt and cream of tartar together in a separate bowl. Slowly add in the dry ingredients while mixing on setting 1 to bleand in flour then setting 2 until well mixed. Remove dough from the mixing bowl. Shape into disks. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 3-4 hours or make ahead and store in freezer. Heat oven to 375ºF (convection 350ºF). Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes a few at a time and place on baking sheet. Decorate with sugars, etc before baking or after they're cooled & frosted. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until very light brown on the edges. Cool on the cookie sheet for 1o minutes and then on cooling rack until completely cooled.
- 2. My Notes: I modified this recipe to use the Kitchen Aid stand mixer. I always double this recipe because u can never have too many sugar cookies. Be sure and not double the baking soda. Use 1+1/2 tsp. instead. The dough is very soft so it does need to be refrigerated before using.
- 3. Frosting: 1 lb powdered sugar (C&H brand preferred) 1/4 cup butter, softened, 1 dash salt, 1 tsp clear vanilla (keeps it white), a Tablespoon or 2 of evaporated milk. Whisk or whip on mixer all ingredients together till smooth, adding a little milk at a time till it is the right spreading consistancy, Decorate your cookies with as much imagination as u desire. Enjoy!
DELUXE SUGAR COOKIES - (COOKIE CUTTER TYPE)
This recipe came from the newspaper in the small Arizona town where I grew up. We use it almost every year to make Christmas cookies. They're not too dry and are good even without any icing or candy decorations.
