Grandmamas Tea Cakes Preparation
This is the recipe my mother”s mother used when my mother was a child. There are probably better cookies of this type, but none that have fonder memories. Mama had all sorts of sprinkles that we could decorate them with. I baked this cookie for my mother to have with egg nog or coffee, and I still bake them to remember. Cream butter and sugar well; add eggs, one at a time. Stir together dry ingredients with the first cup of flour and add to the butter mixture. Add all of the milk and enough of the flour to make a dough firm enough for rolling. (The less flour, the more tender the cookie) Roll about 1/4 inch thick, cut to desired shapes, place on lightly greased sheets and bake at 375F for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly tanned. Cool before storing in an air tight container. Posted to KitMailbox Digest by ddmmom@popalex1.linknet.net on Dec 07, 1997
