My DH told me a story about cookies that his Mom and Grandma used to make.... they don't really have a name, he calls them Grandma cookies! His Grandma called them Sweet Milk Cookies. Either way, they are just delicious. I have no idea where this recipe is from as DH had it scribbled on a piece of paper. Recipe is from about the 1930's to 1940's. **These are best when frosted. Ingredients:
1 egg |
1 cup sugar (i use 3/4 cup) |
1/2 cup butter, softened (no substitutes!) |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 1/2 cups flour (may need less start with 2 cups) |
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix all ingredients except flour together. Add enough flour to make the dough roll-able.
3. Refrigerate approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour.
4. Roll dough out to approximately 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutter.
5. Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. If you make a rolled cookie instead of a cutout may need to increase baking time.
6. Allow to cool in cookie sheet 5 minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
