Michelle's Vanilla Sugar Cookies

Combine sugar and margarine in a large bowl, using an electric mixer to blend the ingredients until they become smooth and airy. Gradually introduce eggs into the mixture, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, stirring manually until all components are well combined.

Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow it to rest and develop its flavor.

Before baking, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to achieve an even thickness of 1/8- to 1/4-inch. Use your preferred cookie cutters to create the desired shapes.

Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space for even cooking.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown, requiring 6 to 8 minutes of cooking time.
