Gertie's Sugar cookies

When I was young and living on the farm we had  neighbors, the McAuley's. Mrs. McAuley made the best ever sugar cookies!

1 cup butter ( no substitutes)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp baking soda
 2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 3/4 cups flour
Cream together all ingredients (except flour). Beat until light and fluffy.
Add the flour and mix till well blended.
Roll out and cut with cookie cutter.
Once on the greased pan sprinkle with sugar (can used colored sugar if desired)
bake for 10-12 minutes in 350F oven.
Yield 3-4 dozen depending on size of cookie
