8 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons bakers' ammonia
  • 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup lard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon lemon oil
  • 6 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Dissolve the ammonia in the milk, and set aside.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, cream together the lard and sugar until smooth. Mix in the lemon oil, eggs, and salt. Stir in the milk alternately with the flour to form a soft but manageable dough. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls. Place 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten the cookies using the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
  3. 3
    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
