Vanilla Cookies

Ingredients

• ½ cup sugar
• 6 tablespoons solid vegetable fat
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla flavor
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 egg
• about 2⅓ cups flour, or enough to make a medium soft dough

Directions

1. First put fat, salt, vanilla and milk into a bowl, and work with a spoon until creamy.
2. Add the sugar gradually, stirring constantly until well creamed and white.
3. Mix in the well beaten egg, and fold in the flour to a rather soft dough.
4. Divide into 2 or 3 pieces so as to be handled more easily, and roll out on a well floured board to ¼ inch thickness.
5. Cut with a floured biscuit cutter, lay in baking pan, and bake in a medium slow oven to a very light brown color.
