Heirloom Recipes

I will be posting some Heirloom recipes that I found in an old cookbook use by my Maternal Grandmother. She was a fabulous cook. I wish I had more of her recipes but like so many of that era she never wrote them down

LORRAINE’S SUGAR COOKIES

1 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Cup White sugar
1 Cup of Crisco Oil
1 Cup of Margarine
2 eggs
 1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups and 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp.   soda
1 tsp. Cream of Tartar

Mix all ingredients in the order listed and roll in to small balls.  Press flat with a glass dipped in sugar.  Bake at 350 until lightly browned.

Not sure who Lorraine was but an interesting recipe!
