Breakfast, Luncheon and Tea

by Marion Harland

Kellogg Cookies.

1 cup of butter.

2 cups powdered sugar, creamed with the butter.

3 table-spoonfuls sour cream.

4 eggs, beaten very light.

5 cups of flour.

1 teaspoonful—an even one—of soda.

1 teaspoonful of nutmeg.

A handful of currants, washed and dried.

Mix all except the fruit, into a dough just stiff enough to roll out. The sheet should be about a quarter of an inch thick. Cut round, and bake quickly. When about half done open the oven-door; strew a few currants upon each cookey, and close the door again immediately, lest the cakes should get chilled.
