Directions: |
Beat butter in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, cream of tartar, and salt; beat until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a stiff dough, using a wooden spoon. Divide dough into thirds. Shape dough into logs about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 9 inches long. Wrap the logs and chill for 1 to 3 hours or until firm.
Cut rolls into 1/4 inch thick slices. Place slices 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with colored sugar and other decorations, if desired.
Bake in a 375* oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until bottoms and edges of cookies are golden brown.
