1. Two cups sugar, one cup butter, one cup milk, three eggs, flour enough to make a soft dough, two teaspoonfuls baking-powder; roll thin; sift over with sugar and bake.

2. Two cups white sugar, one cup of sweet milk, two spoons of baking powder, nutmeg; flour enough to roll out; better if rolled out thin, and a hot oven to bake in.

3. Whites of two eggs, one large cup of milk, one cup of sugar, one half-cup butter, two teaspoonfuls baking-powder, flavor with vanilla, rose, or nutmeg; flour enough for thick batter; beat thoroughly; drop in buttered pans, dust granulated sugar on top and bake with dispatch.

4. One cup butter, two cups sugar, four eggs, four cups flour, three tablespoons milk, three teaspoons baking-powder. Rub the flour and butter thoroughly together, cream the butter and sugar, beat the eggs separately; add to the above with a little nutmeg and cinnamon, or any seasoning preferred. Sift in the flour and baking-powder, and add enough flour to mold, and roll out. These cookies will keep fresh two weeks, and if the milk is left out, a month.

5. One cup sugar, one half-cup lard or butter, one-half cup sour milk, one-half teaspoonful soda, just flour enough to roll, baking quickly. Add any flavoring you wish. No eggs are required. These are very nice if grated or prepared cocoa-nut is added.

6. One cup sour cream, one cup butter, two cups sugar, two eggs, one teaspoon soda; flour; and flavoring to suit.

7. One cup butter, two of sugar, two eggs, a teaspoonful of saleratus, dissolved in a cup of milk or water, a grated nutmeg, sufficient flour to make stiff to roll out.
