Instructions: Sweet milk may be used by adding 1/2 tsp. vinegar to the milk.

Sift all dry ingredients. Cream oleo, sugar and eggs until very light and smooth. Mix vanilla with milk. Add dry ingredients alternately with liquid.

(Great Grandma says theres nothing like a wooden spoon when the dough becomes too stiff for the mixer. Add you know what? She was right!) The dough should be soft, but stiff enough to roll out on a well floured wax paper. Cut cookies in desired shapes about 1/8" thick. Place on a greased cookie sheet (some good things have happened since Great Grandmas baking days. We have parchment paper, or silpats** :). Sprinkle sugar on cookies and bake in a preheated 375 oven for about 10-15 minutes depending on your cookie shapes and sizes. Just watch until they are lightly browned on the edges.

**Silpats are baking mats of silicone that are laid on a cookie sheet like parchment, but it apparently lasts for almost ever. Look for them on kitchen gadgets or cookware sites or in kitchen stores. They are about $20.00 each.
