2 1/2 c. sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 c. shortening
3 tbsp. baker's Ammonia
2 c. sweet milk
2 tsp. oil of lemon
1 tsp. salt
5 1/2 c. flour

Dissolve ammonia in milk. Cream shortening and sugar, add eggs, and remaining ingredients using additional flour if necessary to make it stiff enough to roll. Roll out, cut out and bake 12 minutes. Note: I bought oil of lemon and baker's ammonia at the drug store. They keep well and the flavour improves with the keeping. I also add a little sugar on top of each before baking.
