Jumbles

Ingredients

• One pound of sugar
• One pound of butter
• One and one-half pound of flour
• Four eggs
• One table-spoonful of brandy

Method

1. 1

   Rub the butter and sugar to a cream, and add the eggs, well beaten, then the brandy and then the flour, sifting the latter very lightly.

2. 2

   Roll out the dough, sifting pulverized sugar on the board to keep it from sticking, and bake quickly.

3. 3

   These cookies will be very soft when rolled out.

4. 4

   If not desired so sweet, use flour when rolling the dough instead of sugar.

5. 5

   This is a delicious but rather expensive way to make cookies.
