Cracked Sugar Cookies
 
Ingredients
  • 2½ cups sifted all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter or margarine, softened (I prefer butter)
  • 1¼ cup sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350*. (If not using parchment paper, grease the cookie sheets.)
  2. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar onto a piece of waxed paper. Set the mixture aside.
  3. Beat together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture in 4 parts, mixing well after each addition, until well blended.
  4. Shape dough into balls, using 1 level tablespoonful for each ball. Place balls 2" apart on cookie sheets, do not flatten.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes or until light golden brown around edges. Remove cookies to racks to cool.
