My Grandmother always had a cookie jar full of these every time we went to her house. Every time I bake them, it reminds me how much she loved to cook for us and how great she was for taking the time to "pamper" us.

Ingredients

1 cup butter (not margarine)

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add eggs and mix well.
Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
Drop by spoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets, or a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

You can also "roll" this mixture out and use cookie cutters to make shapes.
