Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 2 or 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sweet milk (whole milk)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (level)
  • Flavoring *(type and amount not specified)*
  • Flour, as needed to roll

Steps

  1. Cream together the sugar and shortening.
  2. Beat in the eggs (2 or 3).
  3. Add the sweet milk and flavoring; mix well.
  4. Sift together the baking powder and baking soda, then stir into the wet mixture.
  5. Add enough flour to form a dough that can be rolled out.
  6. Roll the dough to ¼-inch thickness.
  7. Cut into rounds, place filling on half the rounds, and cover with the remaining rounds, pressing edges to seal — as you would other filled cookies.
  8. Bake until done. (Oven temperature and baking time not given on the card.)
