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.
