These cookies were a Christmas tradition for one of the families in my childhood church. I looked forward to caroling at their house because we were rewarded with one of these tasty morsels! Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
1 egg |
1/3 cup buttermilk |
4-2/3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon each ground allspice, ground cloves and ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and buttermilk. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, cloves and nutmeg; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Shape into two 9-in. rolls; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm.
2. Unwrap and cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 6 dozen.
