This recipe came from the newspaper in the small Arizona town where I grew up. We use it almost every year to make Christmas cookies. They're not too dry and are good even without any icing or candy decorations.
Mix thoroughly butter, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla. Blend in baking soda, cream of tartar, and flour. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours.
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Divide the dough in half, and roll each half of dough 3/16" inch thick on a lightly floured or cloth-covered board.
Cut into desired shapes and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Decorate with colored sugar or candy sprinkles.
Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until light brown on the edges.
