GRANDMA CLARKS CHRISTMAS CUT OUT COOKIES
Steps:
- Combine butter, salt, lemon and nutmeg (it really calls for almond but lemon is preferred) and blend. Add sugar gradually and cream well. Add beaten egg and cream and mix well. Sift flour with baking powder and soda. Add to creamed mixture, blending well. Let stand in fridge at least 30 minutes until thoroughly chilled, then roll out thin and cut in shapes with cutters dipped in flour. Place on greased cookie sheet, brush with egg white, slightly diluted with water. Sprinkle with colored sugars and bake 8 - 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Thin cookies brown rapidly. Let cool on cookies sheet for one minute then remove to cooling rack. When cool, stack in an air tight tin. Do not handle dough more than absolutely necessary to keep a tender cookie. Keep all dough not currently being rolled or cut in fridge. Less decoration is better than more. Rinse cookie sheets in cool water after each use, clean off crumbs before using for next batch.
