Cream together:
1 cup butter or butter flavored Crisco (softened)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Add 4 cups flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 cup buttermilk (can use plain milk)
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Mix all ingredients well and roll out 1/4 inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters or glass. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Yields 40.
Note: I found a really cool flavoring that you add to icing. I found it at Walmart. I used strawberry and cherry on the cookies.
