Aunt Molly’s Cookies.
1 cup of butter.
2 cups powdered sugar.
4 eggs.
4 cups of prepared flour, or enough for soft dough.
2 table-spoonfuls of cream.
Nutmeg and mace.
Roll into a thin sheet, and cut into small cakes. Bake in a quick oven until crisp and of a delicate brown. Brush them over while hot with a soft bit of rag dipped in sugar and water, pretty thick.
