Favorite Cookies

2 cups sugar 1 cup (heaping) butter 2 eggs (well beaten) Nutmeg or other flavouring 1 cup sweet milk 3 cups Five Roses flour 2 teaspoons (rounded) baking powder.

Cream together in a large bowl sugar and butter. Add the eggs well-beaten.

Grate in a little nutmeg or use any other flavouring preferred. Gradually pour in the sweet milk and Five Roses flour which has been sifted 3 times with the baking powder. Roll out quite thin and use a small cutter (I could not get a small enough cutter and punched some holes in the bottom of a very small baking-powder can). Bake in rather quick oven, and let the cookies get cold and hard before putting away. These will keep good and remain crisp almost indefinitely, and therefore are good to make up in large batches.

Note-Above recipe makes splendid lemon cookies by the simple addition of the rind and juice of 1 lemon, omitting all other flavouring.
