  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and confectioners' sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Blend into the butter mixture. Divide dough into thirds and shape into balls.
