My Aunt makes these for every family get-together. They are so good our family fights over them as soon as they are brought out. This recipe is from an older version of the Betty Crocker Cookbook. I bought the new one and unfortunately it wasn't in there. I had to copy it out of my Aunt's version. The cookies are soft and cake-like. Enjoy!

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
2 cups confectioners' sugar

2 -4 tablespoons hot water

Tips for Making Jubilee Jumbles:

  • Use fresh, high-quality butter. This will give your jumbles a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the jumbles to be tender and crumbly.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the jumbles from becoming tough.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing will make the jumbles tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the jumbles to hold their shape in the oven.
  • Bake the jumbles until they are golden brown on the edges. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the jumbles cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their shape.
