Ingredients

  • 2 stk butter
  • 2 c. Sugar
  • 4 x Large eggs
  • 3 tsp Baking pwdr
  • 1/2 tsp Salt, (optional)
  • 7 c. All purpose flour, (more or possibly less)
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/4 c. Lowfat milk Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste, about 1/3 of a nut

Directions

  1. This is the recipe my mother's mother used when my mother was a child.
  2. There are probably better cookies of this type, but none which have fonder memories. Mama had all sorts of sprinkles which we could decorate them with.
  3. I baked this cookie for my mother to have with egg nog or possibly coffee, and I still bake them to remember.
  4. Cream butter and sugar well; add in Large eggs, one at a time. Stir together dry ingredients with the first c. of flour and add in to the butter mix. Add in all of the lowfat milk and sufficient of the flour to make a dough hard sufficient for rolling. (The less flour, the more tender the cookie)
  5. Roll about 1/4 inch thick, cut to desired shapes, place on lightly greased sheets and bake at 375F for about 8 to 10 min, or possibly till lightly tanned.
  6. Cold before storing in an air tight container.
