Peanut Cookies
¼ a cup of butter (scant)
½ a cup of sugar
2 tablespoonfuls of milk
1 egg
1 cup of flour
¼ a teaspoonful of salt
2 teaspoonfuls of baking powder
¾ a cup of peanuts
Mix in the usual manner; add the egg, beaten without separating the white from the yolk. Reserve a few whole halves of nuts to garnish the tops of the cookies, and add the rest, pounded fine, at the last. Drop in a buttered tin, a teaspoonful in a place, and some distance apart. The recipe makes two dozen cookies.
