Christmas Recipes 2
A-P's
1 pound butter 1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pound granulated sugar Nut halves
3 eggs, unbeaten Powdered cinnamon and
1 pound sifted flour sugar
4 tablespoons milk or cream 1 extra beaten egg
Cream the butter and sugar, add the unbeaten eggs, one at a time. Add the flour and milk, alternately, and the salt. Chill the dough overnight. Then roll a small amount at a time as thin as possible, on a lightly floured board. Cut with cookie cutters in fancy shapes. Paint with beaten egg and decorate with nut halves. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake in a hot oven (400° F.) for four or five minutes, or until lightly browned. This makes two hundred or more, depending on the size of the cutters.

1 teaspoon salt 3 eggs, unbeaten
2 teaspoons baking powder Blanched almonds
1 pound sugar Extra sugar
1 pound butter
Sift the flour twice with the salt, baking powder and sugar. Mix in the butter, cinnamon and eggs, kneading until a soft dough is formed. Chill well. Then roll it very thin on a well-floured board. Cut with a cookie cutter. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and place one almond on each cookie. Bake six to eight minutes in oven (350° F.). This makes two hundred or more cookies.

1/2 pound butter 1 pound sifted flour
8 egg yolks 1 lemon rind, grated
1/4 pound sugar 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Cream the butter, beaten yolks, sugar and rind until lemon colored. Add the flour sifted with the baking powder.

Then brush them with beaten egg. Bake in a moderate oven (350° F.) twelve to twenty minutes. This makes four dozen or more cookies.
