I used to have my grandmother’s recipe box. Somewhere, somehow in all our military moves it got lost in the shuffle. It is this time of year that I miss being able to pull out that recipe box with her treasured cookie recipes. I wanted to pull one out for the Virtual Cookie Exchange over at Just Let Me Quilt.
One of the recipes that I missed was her sugar cookie recipe. I had remembered she had written “Tupperware Sugar Cookie Recipe” on the top of her card. Thankfully, a friend of mine had the recipe. She tells me that it was the recipe her mom made as well.
I decided to share this one because my daughter (who is 16) is getting together with some girlfriends this weekend to decorate Christmas cookies and she asked for the recipe so I thought “Why not share it here with you?” Hey if my 16 year old still likes to decorate cookies then there are others out there too. This is my favorite sugar cookie recipe.

- 1 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 1 cup butter (don’t substitute)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp cream of tarter
- 1 tsp baking soda
- Colored Sprinkles
- Preheat oven 375 degrees.
- Cream sugar and butter with mixer until fluffy. Add egg and flavorings and mix well. Sift dry ingredients together; stir into creamed mixture. Cover in a Tupperware (wink wink) bowl and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours
- Divide dough in half. Roll out on a surface lightly dusted with confectioners sugar. Cut with cookie cutters and placed on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Have fun with the colored sprinkles but keep or remove the sprinkles off the baking sheet or bake without sprinkles to decorate with an icing or glaze. Sprinkles is just the tradition in my family!
- Bake for 7 to 8 minutes until cookies begin turning a light brown at edges. Cool on wired cooling racks.
- Enjoy!
You are a treasure!

I also lost my Tupperware Sugar Cookie Recipe several years ago. My husband’s aunt sold Tupperware for a period of time, and I acquired the cookie cutters with recipe. It was ALWAYS my go to recipe. I even asked her if she had a copy, and she said no. As I was getting ready for a cookie exchange I was inspired to do an internet search. What a blessing when I found your post! Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful Christmas season.
Thanks so much for posting. The recipe at one time was printed on there plastic rolling mat for pastries, so I always could find it, until the day the mat was too old to use and I never thought about copying the recipe and it was the only sugar cookie i made, Other recipes do not compare. Thanks again.
Best sugar cookie recipe. I still have the recipe that was part of their printed material. Soooo hard to read.
Cindee that is so cool. I only had a photocopy of a it typed on a index card!
Can’t tell you how grateful i felt when my husband found this recipe thru Google!! I somehow lost my beloved one I’d had for over 51 years, this year!!
So I sincerely thank you for so much!! Valentine’s day cookies will be made tomorrow, for my Grandchildren!!🤗❤
I still have mine. This one isn’t the same.
Denise I would love your recipe! I have to admit mine was written out by a relative and that is what she named it!
