Renee’S Cut Out Cookies

1. 1

   Cream the butter and sugar.

2. 2

   Add eggs and mix well.

3. 3

   Add the baking soda to the soured evaporated milk (use a container for this that has some room in it, because when you add these together and stir, it grows a bit).

4. 4

   Alternately add the milk mixture and the flour to the butter, sugar, and egg mixture. Mix until combined.

5. 5

   This is a sticky dough. You will probably need to chill it a while; I do it in the bowl.

6. 6

   Roll out on a WELL-FLOURED surface. Not too thin. Cut out into desired shapes.

7. 7

   Bake at 350 degrees until done. I don't have an actual time with this recipe, but I'd start looking at about 6 or 8 minutes. You don't want them browned; check for a hint of golden color on the bottoms.

8. 8

   I don't remember exactly how many cookies this recipe makes. It's an old recipe and it's not on there. I'd say you'd get approximately 2 dozen cookies, depending on the cutter size. I haven't made it often as a single batch, so I'm not sure on this.

9. 9

   Ice/frost however you'd like. I used to only use buttercream icing on them, but recently I gave royal icing a try.

    Enjoy.
