Grandma Pearce's Sugar Cookies

These are SO delicious and soft!

Cream together these ingredients:

2 tsp. vanilla (you can be generous)

5 C sugar

2 C butter or shortening

4 eggs

Then add:

2 C milk

12-14 C flour (Grandma's recipe calls for only 8, but it doesn't seem to be enough.)

1 1/2 T baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp nutmeg (I use 2 tsp. for more flavor)

1 C powdered milk

2 tsp. salt

Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes

Frosting:

1 regular size package cream cheese

1 cube butter

vanilla to taste

1/2 package of powdered sugar (add more it the consistency isn't right)

For raisin filling grind together nuts and raisins and place in the middle of 2 circles of dough before baking.
