Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 305, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 December 1913 — Cookies. [ARTICLE]

Cookies.

One cupful of butter, two cupfuls ok sugar, three eggs, half a teaspoonful of baking powder, one even teaspoonful of nutmeg, half a teaspoonful of cloves and flour for a soft dough. Begin with two cupfuls and add carefully that you may not make them too stiff. Cream butter and sugar, add yolks of eggs, spice, one cupful of flour with baking powder, the whipped whites and the rest of the flour. Roll into a sheet a quarter of an inch thick, cut into rounds and bake in a good oven. These cookies ought to be of the soft variety if you keep them wrapped in a cloth in a tin box and will not let them dry out.
