Renee’s Cut Out Cookies

Cream the butter and sugar.

Add eggs and mix well.

Add the baking soda to the soured evaporated milk (use a container for this that has some room in it, because when you add these together and stir, it grows a bit).

Alternately add the milk mixture and the flour to the butter, sugar, and egg mixture. Mix until combined.

This is a sticky dough. You will probably need to chill it a while; I do it in the bowl.

Roll out on a WELL-FLOURED surface. Not too thin. Cut out into desired shapes.

Bake at 350 degrees until done. I don’t have an actual time with this recipe, but I’d start looking at about 6 or 8 minutes. You don’t want them browned; check for a hint of golden color on the bottoms.

I don’t remember exactly how many cookies this recipe makes. It’s an old recipe and it’s not on there. I’d say you’d get approximately 2 dozen cookies, depending on the cutter size. I haven’t made it often as a single batch, so I’m not sure on this.

Ice/frost however you’d like. I used to only use buttercream icing on them, but recently I gave royal icing a try.

Enjoy.
