My grandmother made these cookies all the time. These are very good with coffee.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup shortening
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- Dash of nutmeg
- 4 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Enough plain flour to make stiff dough (at least 2 1/2 cups)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the shortening and sugar. Add the eggs to the mixture. Add the milk and vanilla and combine well.
Step 2
Sift together the nutmeg, baking soda, salt and enough flour to make stiff dough. Try starting off with 2 1/2 cups of flour and add more as needed, half a cup at a time, to make the dough stiff.
Step 3
Roll out onto a pastry sheet and cut with cookie cutter. Place on a greased cookie sheet.
Step 4
Bake at 325 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes or until lightly browned.
