Baking cookies are assuredly a good way to help your children become involved in the holiday planning and make a great gift.

Cookies

This was my Grandmothers formula for cut out cookies for all occasions. They can be frosted or decorated any way you wish.

When I was growing up we all the time could not wait for these mouth watering cookies. Today the cut out cookies taste completely separate from this great recipe. I did not want it to be lost so I am posting it today.

I am very proud to share this formula with you I think it would make my Grandmother happy.
Try it and see what you think. Let me know if you like them.

½ Cup butter

½ cup sugar

½ Cup brown sugar

3 cups flour

2 eggs

1 ½ tsp water

½ tsp soda

½ tsp salt

½ tsp nutmeg

Beat eggs, add water, and vanilla.

Mix and sift dry ingredients alternate with wet ingredients.
