Christmas Cookies revisited

The Basic Butter Cookie recipe from my mother, a master baker who loved anything with a sugar molecule in it.


Butter Cookies

2 sticks butter (I always use unsalted)
¾ cup sugar
½ teaspoon vinegar
½ teaspoon soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cups flour


Cream together the sugar abd butter.  Add the other ingredients and mix.  Drop by teaspoonfuls on a cookie sheet and bake for twenty minutes at 300 degrees F.

Chopped nuts (pecans would be good) can be added if you like.
