I'm a huge fan of Mary's Sugar cookie recipe by Betty Crocker - its the only roll out dough that I'll use for the holidays! Great flavor!

This has been my favorite recipe for sugar cookies since 1973 when a friend shared the recipe from the Betty Crocker cookbook. Very tender and delicious! They're called Deluxe Sugar Cookies (or Mary's Sugar Cookies) in the cookbook.

It tastes nice, but mine came out so weak, I couldn't lift the cut cookies off the counter without destroying them. I let them sit for 3 hours in the fridge, and even a little longer in the freezer, made no difference. I think it's the powdered sugar. Might try again with granulated.

Cream of Tartar substitute: -1 tsp Baking powder = 1/2 tsp cream of tartar & 1/4 tsp soda. Since the recipe calls for both baking soda and cream of tarter, then omit both the baking soda & cream of tartar and just use baking powder. One teaspoon baking powder is equivalent to 1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.
