Title: ELLA ZEEK'S SUGAR COOKIES
Categories: Cookies, Holiday
Yield: 48 servings
3 c All-purpose flour
1 1/2 c Brown sugar
1/2 c White sugar
1 c Shortening
1/4 c Milk
2 Eggs
2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Vanilla
Cream sugars and shortening. Add milk, vanilla and
eggs and mix well. Stir in remaining ingredients and
mix well. Refrigerate for about 1 hour.
With floured hands roll teaspoonful of dough into a
ball. Place on cookie sheet. With three fingres
together, press ball flat, leaving ridges down the
middle. Bake in 400øF oven for 9 to 12 minutes or
until lightly gold.
Ella was a neighbor who was ten years older than God
when I was a child. She always had these in her cookie
jar, and usually would bake a dozen every day since
the dough keeps so well. It is one of my all time
favorites and I have never tasted them anywhere else.
