BAKING AMMONIA COOKIES



2 tbsps. butter
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 tbsps. baking ammonia stirred into 1/4 cup hot milk
1 tsp. baking powder
pinch of salt to your taste
1 tsp vanilla or peppermint flavoring I use peppermint
4 cups flour for a soft dough

Roll and cut cookies round or your choice of cutter.
Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
Lemony or peppermint icing makes these soft cake like cookies wunderbar. Dough can be pressed out instead of rolling. Cookies can be placed fairly close together on non stick sheets (BEST) as they rise upward more so than outward
