As soon as Thanksgiving day was done we got into the Christmas mode. We set up the Christmas tree Ben brought back from Kenya for us, pulled out our Christmas music and started baking. Our favorite recipe this year is Grandma June's Sugar Cookie Recipe complete with yummy frosting. I thought I would share it with you all. Let me know if you try it out!

Grandma June's Christmas Sugar Cookies

1/2 cup margarine or butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt

Cream wet ingredients together, add dry ingredients. Mix well and chill for an hour. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick, using flour to keep from sticking. Cut out cookies and bake for about 8 minutes at 400 degrees.

Yummy Frosting

1/4 cup butter
2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 TBS. milk
food coloring

Cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla and milk gradually until frosting is the consistency you want.
