FAVORITE COOKIES

FAVORITE COOKIES 2 c. sugar 1 c. butter 2 eggs, well beaten Nutmeg or other flavoring 1 c. milk 3 c. flour 2 tsp. baking powder, rounded Cream together in a large bowl sugar and butter. Add the eggs well beaten. Grate in a little nutmeg or use any other flavoring preferred. Gradually pour in the milk and flour which has been sifted 3 times with the baking powder. Roll out very thinly and use a small cutter. Bake in a 375°F preheated oven and let the cookies become cold and hard before putting them away. These will keep well and remain crisp almost indefinitely, and are good to make up in large batches. Variation: Add the rind and juice of one lemon and 1 teaspoon of lemon, omitting all other flavorings.
