Grandma Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Melt butter over low heat to ease mixing by hand.
  • Put 4 cups sifted flour with baking powder & baking soda (& nutmeg option) & then mix.
  • Add sugar & butter & then mix. Make a well (an empty center of the mix)
  • Add buttermilk, eggs, & vanilla & then mix.
  • Flour counter, and grab a handful of flour and all the dough.
  • Use spongy, not sticky dough (use light flour on hands) rolled about 5/8".
  • Make cookies with a 2" (5.08cm) cookie cutter.
  • Bake at 400F for 12 minutes, or until very slightly browned.
  • Break them loose right away but let cool before stacking or they deform & stick to each other
  • notes:
  • using all 5 cups of unsifted flour makes cookies that are about as solid as a cookie can be and still be eaten, and they aren't very sweet. They were popular, but I am at a loss for why. I did not do a repeat because it was an accident and rock-solid cookies are ridiculous. I might have also switched the SODA and POWDER as well. A professional baker told me to try Cream of Tatar, or make larger cookies.
  • I prefer the nutmeg but SOME PEOPLE are allergic to nutmeg, so that is why it is an option.
