Angel Cookies

This is a recipe from my mom. She makes the best cookies in the world. Unfortunately I didn't inherit her skill. I think they taste great. I can't seem to stop eating the dough!

Cream together:

1 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla

Add a mixture of:
4-5 cups flour (I used more like 3 1/2 cups)
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon salt

Roll into balls; dip half of the ball in water and then sugar. I like to add food coloring to the sugar. Place sugar side up on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 until slightly brown. It is about 7-8 minutes for me.
