Mix together sugar and butter. Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract; mix well. Blend in flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours. Heat oven to 375 F. Divide dough in half. Roll each half 3/16 inch thick on lightly floured cloth-covered board. Cut into desired shapes; sprinkle with granulated sugar. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until light brown on edges.
Note: Source: This recipe was donated by a reader in 1999. We were later told that this is an old Betty Crocker recipe, and we found it (in slightly altered form) in an out-of-print cookbook called "Betty Crocker's Cooky Book," printed in 1963. A similar recipe is also on Betty Crocker's website.

I have made these cookies two years in a row and perfected them this year. I go heavy on the almond extract and light on the cream of tartar. Fabulous flavor and texture. I use airbake pans so there's never any trouble with burning. One batch makes plenty of cookies to decorate.

There is no measurement for the listed granulated sugar; how could there be all these positive reviews of a recipe missing an ingredient?
