Bess Parish.
Beat together 1 cup sugar, 2/3 cup butter, adding 2 eggs, 1/2 teaspoon soda dissolved in 4 tablespoons hot water, and 6 tablespoons orange juice with grated rind of 2 oranges. Add sufficient flour to roll soft and thin and bake in quick oven. Mrs. C. E. Combe.
1 Cup sugar, 1 cup butter, 1 cup molasses, 1/2 cup buttermilk, yolks 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon each cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg, 2 teaspoons soda dissolved in 1 tablespoon good vinegar. Mix soft and roll 1/2 inch thick. Bake in hot oven and cover with boiled frosting. Mrs. C. A. Taylor.
1 Cup sugar, 1 cup molasses, 1 cup butter, 1 level tea-spoon soda, 2 tablespoons warm water, flour to stiffen just enough to roll. Mrs. D. B. Harvey.
1/2 Cup butter, 2 squares uncooked chocolate melted with butter, 2 eggs, 1 cup sugar, pinch salt, 1/2 cup flour unsifted, vanilla flavoring, 1 cup nuts. Spread out, bake 20 minutes in moderate oven, cut while warm into squares or desired shapes. Bess Parish.
Into 6 cups flour put 3 heaping teaspoons baking powder. Cream 2 cups sugar, 2 cups butter, 3 eggs beaten, 3 tablespoons sweet milk. After creaming put all in the flour and stir with spoon until all the flour is taken up. Roll very thin and sprinkle with sugar. Mrs. D. A. Lehman.
1 Egg, 1/2 cup sugar, 2/3 tablespoon melted butter, 1/2 tea-spoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, 1 cup rolled oats. Beat eggs until light, then add oats gradually and let stand several hours. Just before baking add other ingredients gradually. Drop by teaspoon on greased pan an inch apart and cook slowly. Mrs. Leila MaxeY, McLeansboro, 111.
1 Cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, 4 eggs, 1 heaping teaspoon baking powder. After mixing these stir in more flour until rather stiff. Roll very thin.
Mrs. A. A. Lehman.
1 1/2 Cups sugar or can use half molasses and half sugar, 1 egg, 1/2 cup butter, 1 teaspoon soda dissolved in 1 tablespoon water, 1 cup sour milk, 1 teaspoon flavoring, pinch of salt, 4 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ginger and a little nutmeg. Cream butter and sugar, add beaten egg, then milk with dissolved soda stirred in it, flavoring and dry ingredients. Sift another 1/2 cup flour on board, take 1 the dough and knead in enough of the flour so you can just handle it without sticking. The softer you can have the dough the better the cookies. Roll out 1/4 inch thick, sprinkle with sugar and cut out with animal cooky cutters. Use remaining dough in same way.
Mrs. Clarence Bonnell.
Cream 2/3 cup butter or butter and lard and 1 cup sugar, add 4 well beaten eggs, 1 cup flour, 2 level teaspoons baking powder and 1 cup chopped nut meats. Drop by teaspoon-tuls on unbuttered tins and bake slowly.
Mrs. C. D. Stilwell.
3 Eggs, 1 cup butter, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup sweet milk, 2 cups flour, J teaspoon salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 cup raisins, 1 tablespoon mixed spices. Cream butter and sugar, add beaten yolks and flour and milk, add beaten whites and raisins and beat hard. Bake in gem pans.
Mrs. R. F. Brown.
Cream 1 cup butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar, 3 eggs beaten separately, 1 teaspoon soda dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water, 4 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, 1 cups flour, 1 1/2 cups nuts, 1 1/2 cups or 1 package raisins mixed with 11/4 cups sifted flour besides the 2 cups of flour. After creaming the sugar and butter add the other ingredients, leaving the soda and stiffly-beaten whites of eggs till last. You absolutely cannot mix this with a spoon, you simply have to use your hands. Drop small hunks on greased pan an inch apart and bake in a very moderate oven. Be careful in baking them, for if your fire is hot the nuts and raisins will burn and be bitter. Makes about 75 cookies. Be sure to use lots of flour or they will spread out thin, the mixture is very stiff and hard to work. Use no milk or other moisture except the eggs and hot water.
Mrs. W. V. Rathbone.
