INSTRUCTIONS
Here are two of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes. They are from the
Better Homes and Gardens Homemade Cookies Cookbook. By the way, my copy
looks like it has really had the wear and tear (which it has)!
In large bowl cream butter and granulated sugar. Add eggs, molasses, and
peel; beat well. Stir flour with next 7 ingredients; add to creamed
mixture. Mix well. Cover; chill.
Divide dough in fourths. On lightly floured surface, roll each portion to
1/8-inch thickness. With knife, cut into diamonds. Place on ungreased
cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees till edges are lightly browned, 8 to 10
minutes.
Mix powdered sugar and milk; add more milk, if needed, till of spreading
consistency. Frost cooled cookies. Makes about 10 dozen.
