I got this from a cookbook I have used so much! It has some great ideas for time saving tips and ways to make cooking at home easier.
Recipes for making homemade a little easier
Here are the recipes for Sugar Cookie Balls
2 cups butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.
In a seperate large bowl, stir together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend dry ingredients into creamed mixture. Combine ingredients well.
Take a teaspoon and form cookies dough into balls, place on cookie sheet (one that will fit in your freezer) and freeze until solid. When solid remove from cookie sheet and place in freezer bag to use whenever you want.
To bake remove however many cookies you want to eat....1 or a dozen....place on cookie sheet. Turn on oven and wait for oven to preheat to 350 (this gives the cookies a little time to unfreeze a bit) . Bake in oven 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
