A nice sugar cookie from the 1940s. It's fine to use milk instead of the water. Ingredients:
2 cups white sugar |
1 cup shortening |
3 eggs |
2 tablespoons water |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. (Directions as written:) Cream fat and sugar, beat in whipped eggs, add baking powder and 1 cup flour, then water and spices; add remaining flour gradually, working in more flour until dough is stiff enough to roll.
2. Sprinkle flour over pastry board. Make a ball of dough, lay it on the board. Rub rolling pin with flour and roll out dough into a sheet 1/4 inch thick. Cut in round cakes, sift granulated sugar over each, and bake quickly 400 - 450 F. (200 - 230 C).
