Coffin Cookies

 The reason they are called coffin cookies is I used coffin shaped cookie cutters...lol

Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 8 Minutes
Ready In: 2 Hours 25 Minutes

Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 egg
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4-1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup (ish) granulated sugar for decoration
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, milk and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and stir in the vanilla extract. Combine the flour, baking soda and cream of tartar; blend into the creamed mixture. Cover and chill for at least two hours. (Note: I divided my dough into 4 parts on a cookie sheet and chilled them)  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Divide the dough into two parts. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of the dough out to 3/16 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto greased cookie sheets. Sprinkle cookies with plain or colored granulated sugar. 3. Bake for 8 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
