susan's Notes:

These are a soft delicate sugar cookie perfect for a mother daughter tea, or with green and red sprinkles for a xmas luncheon.

I got this recipe recently from my cousin Margaret, but it was originally one of my Grandma Kaphingst's Christmas cookie recipes.. These are Oh so delicious.

Directions

Cream together butter, yolks,vanilla and powdered sugar.

Gradually add cream of tartar, baking soda, and flour.

Roll into balls, place on cookie sheet and press down with fork.

Sprinkle with red and green sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.

Thank you Susan. I had this recipe years ago from a cooking show on Cornerstone TV. Lost it and have never been able to find anything like it. These cookies really do melt in your mouth but are very delicate and hard to transport. One idea to make them a little prettier is to flatten them with a glass with a cut out bottom dipped in sugar. Can't wait to make these again!
