White Sugar Cut-Out Cookies from Dairyland Cook

White Sugar Cut-Out Cookies

• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar (called sour milk)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• About 4 cups flour

– In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter.

– In a glass measuring cup, measure out the milk, add in the vinegar and the baking soda. Using a fork, bring the milk to a froth, allowing it to overflow into the mixing bowl, dump out the remains.

– Add eggs to the mixing bowl and mix.

– Next add the baking powder, nutmeg and 3 cups of flour, slowly combine, and add more flour a little at a time until nearly all 4 c. are in. (I go a little shy, or the cookies turn out crispy).

– Cover the dough and refrigerate at least 2 hours, 12 is better.

 – Flour surface and roll out dough in small batches, to 1/2 inch thickness.

– Cut in desired shapes, and using a spatula, move to a cookie sheet.

– Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
