Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 cup lard or 1 cup crisco
• 1 cup sour milk
• 1 teaspoon baking soda (original recipe just says soda)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 4 cups flour
• flavoring, as desired

Recipe

• 1 combine eggs, salt, sugar, lard and baking powder and beat smooth. then add soda to milk and while foaming add to first mixture and beat smooth again, then add flour a little at a time to keep dough smooth.
• 2 it will be too soft to roll so chill for an hour or leave overnight. roll dough, adding a little flour, so it will handle a little easier but use as small an amount as possible because dough too stiff makes hard, dry cookies.
• 3 bake at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes.
