GINGER SNAPS.

One cup of molasses, one cup of sugar. Put four tablespoons of boiling water into a cup and fill the cup with melted butter. One teaspoon of ginger, one of salt and one of soda. Mix as soft as you can roll out; roll as thin as a knife blade.

COOKIES.

One cup sugar, two-thirds cup butter, two tablespoons sour milk, one large egg or two small ones, a little soda.

RAISED DOUGHNUTS.

One pint sweet milk, one-half pint lard, one pint sugar, three eggs. Mix soft at night, using the milk, one-half the sugar and lard and one-half pint of yeast. In the morning add the rest with the eggs, one nutmeg, two tablespoons whiskey, and a little soda. Knead well, and raise; when light, roll out thin, and after cutting let raise again before frying. One-half beef suet and one-half lard is better to fry them in than all lard.
