1 1/2 Cup butter, unslated and room temp
Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and cream of tarter. Set aside.
Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate eggs and vanilla and beat 2 minutes.
Add dry ingredients to wet and add milk. Mix just until it forms a dough.
cover with plastic wrap and form disc. Refrigerate 2 hours.
Heat oven to 350 degrees f.
Rool out dough to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness, cut cookies, transfer to parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake 8 – 10 minutes until edges turn golden brown.
Cool on wire racks.
Frost or ice, your choice! I prefer fluffing frosting and sprinkles myself!
