INSTRUCTIONS
Mix vegetable oil, salt, lemon juice, nutmeg and sugar. Add eggs, milk and
flour sifted with baking powder and soda. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased
cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Gently press each cookie flat with the
bottom of a glass that has been moistened and dipped in sugar. Bake in
375-degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown around edges. Do
not overbake.
When cool, use decorator icing to write "100" on each cookie, in honor of
the Century Celebration.
NOTES : Jo Joynes of Suffolk "This cookie has been in our family for many
years, passed down from `Grandma Coltrane.'
