Great Great Gramma's instructions when she wrote out this recipe said simply: "Mix it all together and knead it if you have time." :)

These sound very much like the "Empire" part of "Empire Biscuits" that we get in Scotland (sandwhich two [round, flat] cookies with raspberry jelly, and top with a simple icing glaze) Thank you for the post!
