Recipe Summary Betty Brown's Butter Cookies
This recipe came from Great Gramma LaLonde's neighbor - Betty Brown. It is the only cut-out cookie I remember Grams Lorette ever making.
I like them really thin and crispy. Dad prefers them thicker.
Frosted is the best, using confectioners' sugar, flavoring, and milk.Ingredients | Newcastle Brown Ale Recipe1 cup salted butter, softened1 cup white sugar2 large eggs2 teaspoons vanilla extract3 cups all-purpose flour2 teaspoons cream of tartar1 teaspoon baking sodaΒΌ teaspoon saltDirectionsBeat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Sift flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl; mix, 1 cup at a time, into creamed butter mixture until dough is just mixed. Form dough into 1-inch-thick disks and place on a plate; chill in refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).Roll disks into desired thickness on a lightly floured work surface using a floured rolling pin.
