How to Make Sweetie Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of margarine and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon cream of tartar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add red food coloring drop by drop, swirling gently to create a marbled pink effect. Start with 5-10 drops and add more as needed to achieve your desired shade.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place the balls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Gently flatten each ball slightly with a fork or your fingers.
- Bake for exactly 10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- While cookies are baking, prepare the glaze (recipe not included in original).
- Let cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before glazing. Glaze while still warm.
