Best Ever Sugar Cookies

submitted by Jenessa

2 cups real butter
2 tsp. Vanilla
6 Eggs
4 tsp. Cream of Tartar
2 tsp. Baking Soda
2 tsp. Salt
3 cups Sugar
7 cups Flour

Mix butter, vanilla, eggs, tartar, soda and sugar until blended well. Slowly add the flour making sure it gets mixed in well.

Refrigerate dough for 3 to 4 hours

Roll dough into balls and flatten slightly on cookie sheet.

Bake at 375 for about 15 to 17 minutes or until edges are just barley golden.

(This receipe works if you want to make big sugar cookies) It will make about 3 dozen pretty good size cookies.

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1 cube (1/2 cup) Real Butter
1 8oz Cream Cheese
2 lbs Powdered Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
Milk as needed

Mix butter, vanilla and cream cheese until blended well. Slowly add the powdered sugar until well blended. (I will add about 2 tsp of milk right after I have put in a little of the powdered sugar)

Use food coloring to color as desired.

This has been my favorite sugar cookie receipe because the stay so moist. I am sure because of the all the butter. Enjoy!!
