Busters Recipes

Strawberry Sugar Cookies

1 cup of butter, softened
3/4 cup of sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 3/4 cup of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream or tartar
3/4 (or more, or less) cups of chopped strawberries

In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar together, until fluffy.
When fluffy, mix in strawberries.

Add egg and beat well, then mix vanilla extract.

In a seprate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and cream of
tartar. Add flour mixture to butter mixture, until thoroughly
combined.

Divide dough into two equal portions, then flatten each into a disk.

Cover each disk in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or
until the dough is firm enough to work with.

If it becomes too firm, soften in a room for 5 minutes. Preheat oven
to 350.

On a lightly floured board roll out dough, until it is about 1/3 inch
thick.

Cut out cookies with cookie cutter. Using a spatula, carefully move
the cookies onto a cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches between them.

Bake for about 8 to 11 minutes, or until gold along the edges.

Remove cookie sheet from oven, and let them cool for 4 minutes.

Make the other cookies with the remaining disk of dough.
