Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 c shortening
1/2 c butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 c buttermilk or *sour milk
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp lemon extract
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 1/2 c flour, added a little at a time

Steps:

1. Heat oven to 375'F.
2. Combine all ingredients including 2 cups of the flour; mix well. If the dough is not stiff enough, add flour in small amounts until thick enough to hold it's shape when you drop them onto the cookie sheet. (I used all of the flour.)
3. Before baking, I place a scant spoonful of my hubby's favorite jam onto the top of some, leave some plain, then sprinkle them all with a little sugar.
4. Bake 8-10 minutes...no more than 10 minutes; watch carefully.
5. *To make sour milk just put 1 Tbsp. of vinegar into a measuring cup, add enough milk to measure 1 cup; stir. Voila! Sour milk.
