This is a hand-written recipe from either my mom or grandma, I’m not sure. The baking times and temperature aren’t listed so my guess is 350 degrees and then probably start watching at 8-10 minutes.
1 C. Fluffo
1 1/2 C. sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 C. flour, sifted
1 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
Blend Fluffo and sugar, add eggs and beat. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to mixture.
For Rolled cookies:
add to half of the dough 1/2 t. vanilla and then wrap in paper and chill. Cut and bake.
For Drop cookies:
add to half of the dough 1/4 C. milk and your choice of shredded coconut, dates or spices. Drop onto cookie sheets and bake.

This is from my Grandma Ella. I’m not sure how old the recipe is but my Aunt Jinny’s copy implies that this recipe was passed down from my Great Grandma Neperud.

2 eggs
1/2 C. molasses
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. ginger
1/2 t. salt
