White Cookies. % cup butter and lard 14 cup milk in equal proportions 2 cups flour 1 cup sugar 2 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. salt. Cream the butter, add sugar, egg well beaten, milk and vanilla. Mix and sift the flour, baking powder and salt and i add to first mixture. Toss one-fourth of mixture on a floured board and roll as thinly as possible. Shape with a small round cutter, first dipped in flour. Place near together on a buttered baking pan and bake in a moderate oven. Gather up the trimmings and roll with another portion of dough. During rolling, the bowl containing_the mixture should be kept in a cool place. or it will be necessary to add more flour to the dough making cookies hard, rather than crisp and short. Cookies should be kept in stone crocks or jars with lid or close covers. This prevents the evaporation of the moisture and consequently keeps the cookies from being dry and hard.
