Aunt Gladys’ Sugar Cookies -"teacakes"

Jesus has many who love his kingdom in heaven, but few who bear his cross. He has many who desire comfort, but few who desire suffering. He finds many to share his feast, but few his fasting. All desire to rejoice with him, but few are willing to suffer for his sake. Many follow Jesus to the breaking of bread, but few to the drinking of the cup of his passion. Many admire the miracles but few follow him to the humiliation of his cross. Many love Jesus as long as no hardship touches them… They who love Jesus for His own sake, and not for the sake of the comfort for themselves, bless Him in every trial and anguish of heart, no less than in the greatest joy. And were He never willing to bestow comfort on them, they would still always praise Him and give Him thanks.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and other ingredients. I make small
balls and press with a glass dipped in sugar, either plain or  colored.
This will also roll out for cutting. I have used a plastic  easter egg
as a cutter at Easter with colored sugar sprinkles. Aunt  Gladys got it
from the cook on the ranch in Wyoming and packed them  in ice cream
cartons (those round ones--anyone remember?) for the  men. When I
married and moved to Louisiana, they called them Teacakes!  File
