Sweet Milk Cookies image

My DH told me a story about cookies that his Mom and Grandma used to make.... they don't really have a name, he calls them "Grandma" cookies! His Grandma called them Sweet Milk Cookies. Either way, they are just delicious. I have no idea where this recipe is from as DH had it scribbled on a piece of paper. Recipe is from about the 1930's to 1940's. **These are best when frosted.

Time 1h10m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 egg
1 cup sugar (I use 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup butter, softened (no substitutes!)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour (may need less start with 2 cups)
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix all ingredients except flour together. Add enough flour to make the dough roll-able.
  • Refrigerate approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Roll dough out to approximately 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutter.
  • Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. If you make a rolled cookie instead of a cutout may need to increase baking time.
  • Allow to cool in cookie sheet 5 minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
