2½ c. flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cream of tartar

Decorative blue sugar and sprinkles

In mixing bowl, beat sugar and butter or margarine. Add egg, vanilla and almond extract; mix well. Combine flour with baking soda and cream of tartar. Blend dry ingredients into butter mixture. Cover bowl or wrap dough in plastic wrap; refrigerate 2 to 3 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper, or lightly grease baking sheets. Divide dough into thirds and work with a third of the dough at a time. On lightly floured surface roll dough to 3/16-inch thickness. Use Hanukkah-themed cookie cutters to cut dough into shapes. Transfer to baking sheets. Sprinkle cookies with blue sugar and sprinkles. Bake cookies until lightly browned, 7 to 8 minutes.
