Instructions: In large mixing bowl cream butter, sugar, and vanilla together well; beat in egg. Stir together flour, soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Stir into creamed mixture till blended. On waxed paper shape dough into a 12x2 inch roll. Wrap in waxed paper and chill several hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut roll into 1/4-inch slices and place on ungreased baking sheets. Top with halved gumdrops in center of each cookie. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven about 12 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Cool on baking sheet one minute before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
