Lorraine Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Found this sugar cookie recipe in the newspaper this morning. It's from 1909, long before anyone cared about "eating healthy." In short, the cookies should be delicious. :) Sugar Cookies 4 cups flour1 cup butter1 1/2 cups sugar4 eggs2 heaping teaspoons baking powder3 tablespoons of milkDash of lemonDash of nutmeg Rub butter and flour togetherAdd sugarBeat in eggs, milk and flavorings Bake in 350 oven for 7-8 minutes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 One of my favorite cookies is the fake Neiman Marcus thing that circulated many years ago. The story of how it came to be public is a sham but the cookies are delicious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Everything, and anything is in moderation. Any recipes can be adjusted, and ingredients can be substituted for similar ones. Depending on what kind the cookies, cakes, pies, and any other baked desserts are, I like them. I'm not a dessert eater, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat, stiff. At least the taste good, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also she never uses unsalted butter even if a recipe calls for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She puts them in Tupperware and we take them to work and parties and such. She has them all divided up. We are not traditionalists when it comes to Christmas. We don't give gifts. We don't even put up a tree. But we like cookies so we take them to every gathering we go too from Thanksgiving through New Years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 When my father was still alive the holidays brought two major food projects that I assited on. One was four different batches of cookies: Chocolate chip, peanut butter, lebkuchen (a spicy cookie laden with dried fruits), and one alternately called Russian Teacakes or Mexican Wedding cakes (small half dome cookies rich with buttter and finely ground almonds. The other project? Home made, ground, and stuffed, fresh kielbasa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
