- 1/2 cup soft margarine or shortening
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 medium egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon almond flavoring
(optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1-1/2 cups flour
In a medium sized bowl cream together the
margarine or shortening and sugar. Beat it
until it is smooth and fluffy. Add the egg,
milk and vanilla, mixing well. Stir in the
salt, baking powder and flour. Blend it all
up until it makes a nice smooth dough. Drop
the mixture by small spoonfuls onto an oiled
cookie sheet. Bake at 375° for about 8 to 10
minutes.
If desired, you can color the dough with
food coloring for special occasions. You can
also form them into small balls and roll
them in a little granulated sugar right
before baking.
I love this recipe because it is so easy to
prepare. I think it goes together even
faster than most cookie mixes. It is cheap
and easy too, costing only about 50¢ to 60¢
for the whole batch. If desired, this recipe
can easily be doubled.
