Instructions: Combine all ingredients. Bake at 350 F for approximately 8-10 minutes. Do not overcook. Marilyn allows for exactly 9 minutes in her oven. Make certain that you check at 8 minutes. They will look almost undercooked.

Remove from oven when they are just turning tan on top, yet still soft.

Yields 4 dozen.

NOTES : In addition to creating a little world of hospitality in this old home, Marilyn is an excellent cook. Awaiting every guest in his or her room is "a jar of these cookies along with a basket of fruit. Guests seem to really enjoy the homemade and old-fashioned taste, and they are always a topic of conversation!"
