| Cold cookie dough is much
easier to handle. The very good plan is to prepare dough several hours
before attempting to roll it. In fact, a cookie mixture may be made in
the evening and allowed to stand until the next morning before being rolled
out and baked. |

BASIC
COOKIES
Ingredients:
-
1 cup of butter
-
2 cups of sugar
-
1 cup of sweet milk
-
1/4 cup of grated nutmeg
-
5 cups of sifted flour
-
2 teaspoons of baking powder
Preparation:
Sift baking powder with
flour. Combine all other ingredients and mix into a soft dough than cut
dough into two round cakes. Before ready to bake, roll the dough as thin
as pie crust, cut round shapes or any other shapes you prefer. Bake in
a quick oven until light brown.
TIP: These cookies
can be made of sour milk (instead of sweet milk) and a teaspoon of soda
dissolved in it (instead of two teaspoons of baking powder). Margarine,
or some other shortening, sour or sweet cream or combination of cream and
shortening can be used in place of butter.
NOTE: For people who
are lactose intolerant, water cookies can be made the same as above, using
water in place of milk. Water cookies keep much longer than milk cookies. |
