1 /2 c. butter or margarine
1/2 c. shortening
2 c. sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla or nutmeg
1/4 c. milk
4 c. flour
1/4 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
Mix all the wet ingredients together then add the dry ingredients. Mix well. Let it still in the refrigerator overnight so you can better roll it out more easily.
Roll out not to thin. Preheat oven to 350'. Cook for 8-10 min. Let them finish cooking on the top of the oven on the stove where it is warm still and then remove from the cookie sheet to the cooling rack.
