Plain Cookies

Eight tablespoons of sugar; six tablespoons of melted butter; four tablespoons of milk; two eggs; two teaspoons of baking powder; flour to thicken. Stir the butter into the sugar; beat the eggs lightly, add them to the butter and sugar, stirring well; and then add the milk. Sift the powder with a little flour, stir it in, and add enough more flour to admit of rolling out. Place the dough on a well-floured board, roll it thin, cut the cookies out, dip each in granulated sugar as soon as cut, and bake in a quick oven.
