Great Grandma Sabin's Sour Milk Cookies image

This recipe has been handed down through generations. When my Grandma Wilson made these cookies when I was a child she made them as she was shown, there were no measurements she would say it takes 2 handfuls or a pinch or two...LOL... took awhile to transfer her recipe into measurements but finally and thankfully it has been...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large eggs
1 c shortening, crisco, not butter flavor
2 c sugar
2/3 c sour milk
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp nutmeg
4-6 c flour

Steps:

  • 1. Beat eggs well. Add sugar and beat. Add shortening and be continue beating. Sift dry ingredients (use 4 cups flour) together and alternating with the sour milk add to egg mixture , continue beating...slowly add additional flour until dough forms a sticky ball.
  • 2. Turn dough out unto a floured surface. Slowly kneed in additional flour until the dough is not sticky on the outside but still a soft dough. divide in half and roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness. My Grandma had this large circle cookie cutter she used to make these over sized cookies. And they do work better if you make them large. I just use a glass dipped in flour to make my cookies. You can use shaped cutters but use large ones. Once you have your cookies on the tray, sprinkle with plain white sugar. You can be festive and colored sugar but I like the more traditional white sugar.
  • 3. Bake about 10 minutes at 375* degrees. Bake until cookies puff up a bit and dough looks dry. Do not over cook them or they will be hard.

These cookies are delicious! I love the soft and chewy texture and the slightly tangy flavor. I also love the addition of raisins and nuts. They add a nice crunch and sweetness. I will definitely be making these cookies again.

These cookies were a bit dry for my taste. I think I should have added a little more butter or oil to the dough. Otherwise, the flavor was good.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them. Otherwise, they were pretty good. The texture was nice and chewy and the flavor was good.

Meh. These cookies were just okay. They were a little too dry for my taste and the flavor was nothing special. I probably won't be making them again.

These cookies were a bit of a disappointment. The flavor was bland and the texture was dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I should have used a different type of sour milk? Overall, I wouldn't recommend this rec
