I honestly think my mom and I make the best cut-out cookies around (I may be a tad biased), but I'm willing to share my recipe with you to test them out for yourself....

Swedish Sugar Cookies

1 c. powdered sugar
1 c. white sugar
1 c. margarine (best at room temperature & not "cheap" margarine)
2 eggs
4 c. flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla
pinch or 2 of salt

Mix ingredients. Cool in refrigerator (usually overnight). Roll out for cut-out cookies. Bake 350 degrees for 8 minutes.

Frosting
4 c. powdered sugar
1/2 c. Crisco
1 tsp vanilla
3 TBsp milk (and add as needed)
Whip together with mixer. Separate and add food coloring.

Glad Fridagen! (That's means Happy Holidays in Swedish)
