Nothing says Christmas like homemade goodies and this month's recipe is sure to a be a favorite.
This recipe comes from the student assistant of my mother-in-law quite a few years ago. If baked on stoneware, they turn out very soft. A metal cookie sheet makes them crispier.
Mama Jan's Sugar Cookies
½ cup butter, softened
1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
1 cup sugar (I used evaporated cane juice.)
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups flour, sifted
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon pure almond extract
Cream together butter and sugar.
Add egg and mix well.
Sift dry ingredients together and blend into sugar mixture. Mix well.
Add extracts and blend well.
Cover with plastic wrap or in an airtight bowl and chill one hour.
Roll out on a pastry cloth to thickness of half your little finger and cut with cookie cutters.
