This recipe is from Aunt Chick's Pies from 1944. This recipe tastes good but does not hold the shape of the cutter very well. Lets just say your cookies will look more like oversized animal crackers not beautiful Aunt Chick's cookies. So if you want to try this recipe I would use basic cut outs.
This recipes is not ideal for the Aunt Chick's Cookie Cutters but I felt they should be included in this section. That way it gives you an idea where the recipe started from and how far she came.
Use pastry canvas, rubbed full of flour, firmly rolled in with knit covered rolling pin. Chill dough. Roll only about 1/3 of dough at a time. Pick up scraps around the cookies. This makes it possible to pick up less flour and easier to pick up the cookies. Knit cover to pin is rubbed full of flour, INTO it. not loose on it.
SOFT SUGAR COOKIES:
- Combine in same manner 1/2 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1/4 cup milk, and 1/4 tsp nutmeg or 1/2 tsp vanilla.
- Sift together 2 tsp baking powder and 2 1/4 cups flour.
- Mix together and roll thin as desired.
- Bake on greased cookie sheet for 10 minutes in 400 degree oven. Remove immediately after removal from oven.
