COOKIES.

One cup of butter, two cups of sugar, a _small_ teacupful of sweet
milk, half a grated nutmeg and five cups of sifted flour, in which
there has been sifted with it two teaspoonfuls of baking powder; mix
into a soft dough and cut into round cakes; roll the dough as thin as
pie crust. Bake in a quick oven a light brown. These can be made of
sour milk and a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in it, or sour or sweet
cream can be used in place of butter.

Water cookies made the same as above, using water in place of milk.
Water cookies keep longer than milk cookies.

FAVORITE COOKIES.

One cup of butter, one and a half cups of sugar, one-half cup of sour
milk one level teaspoonful of soda, a teaspoonful of grated nutmeg
Flour enough to roll; make quite soft. Put a tablespoonful of fine
sugar on a plate and dip the tops of each as you cut them out. Place
on buttered tins and bake in a quick oven a light brown.

FRUIT COOKIES.

One cupful and a half of sugar, one cupful of butter, one-half cup of
sweet milk, one egg, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a teaspoonful
of grated nutmeg, three tablespoonfuls of English currants or chopped
raisins. Mix soft and roll out, using just enough flour to stiffen
sufficiently. Cut out with a large cutter, wet the tops with milk and
sprinkle sugar over them. Bake on buttered tins in a quick oven.

CRISP COOKIES. (Very Nice.)

One cup of butter, two cups of sugar, three eggs well beaten, a
teaspoonful of soda and two of cream of tartar, spoonful of milk, one
teaspoonful of nutmeg and one of cinnamon. Flour enough to make a soft
dough just stiff enough to roll out. Try a pint of sifted flour to
begin with, working it in gradually. Spread a little sweet milk over
each and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in a quick oven a light brown.

LEMON COOKIES.

Four cups of sifted flour, or enough for a stiff dough, one teacupful
of butter, two cups of sugar, the juice of one lemon and the grated
peel from the outside, three eggs whipped very light. Beat thoroughly
each ingredient, adding, after all is in, a half teaspoonful of soda
dissolved in a tablespoonful of milk. Roll out as any cookies and bake
a light brown. Use no other wetting.
