SUGAR COOKIES by Mrs. A. H. Slade - 1956
2 ½ cups flour 2/3 cup butter
2 tsp. baking powder 1 ¼ cup sugar
1/3 cup milk 2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla ¼ tsp salt
Cream butter and sugar together thoroughly. Add beaten eggs, milk, and flavoring. Mix well and spoon in flour which has been sifted 4 times with baking powder and salt. Chill and roll out thin on well floured board. Cut out with round cutter. Place on greased baking sheet. Press raisins and pecans well down into each cookie and sprinkle top of each cookie with sugar. Use salt shaker so sugar will not get in the pan. Bake in 450 deg. oven until golden brown.
