• 2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour, Plus Extra For Counter
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda

1. For the dough:
2. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Cream butter and sugar together. Add egg and mix well. Stir in vanilla and almond extract. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, along with the baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar, mixing well after each addition. Wrap soft dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight before baking.
3. Sprinkle clean workspace with 2 tablespoons of flour. Take lump of cold dough and roll out into a rectangle. Don't roll too flat; roll to 1/4 to 1/2-inch height. Take cookie cutters and press into dough. Place cookies on lightly greased cookie sheet. Put biggest, fattest cookies on the exterior of the pan, they'll bake the fastest; any smaller or more delicate shapes should be in the middle of the cookie sheet. Bake approximately 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on separate plate.
4. For the icing:
5. Cream butter with 1 cup of sugar. Stir in vanilla, almond extract, and salt. Frosting will be thick. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons milk. Stir well. Add 2 to 3 more tablespoons milk, stir well. Frosting will be runny; now stir in the remaining cup of powdered sugar. Stir or mix well. If too thick, add more milk. Keep adding milk and sugar to desired spreadable frosting consistency.
6. Frosting keeps well in the fridge for up to one week. Separate the white frosting into 3 small bowls; stir red food coloring into one, green into another, and keep one white. Then start decorating!
