Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two cookie sheets with a silicone mat.
Using a standing mixer, beat the powdered sugar, egg, vanilla, almond, and butter until light and fluffy.
Using a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
Gradually beat in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
If the dough is still sticky, beat in ¼ C of flour into the dough until a non-sticky dough forms.
Sprinkle flour onto a cutting board and roll out the cookie dough to about 1/4in thickness.
Cut out the Mickey Mouse shapes and place onto the cookie sheet.
Bake in the oven for 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
