Grandma's Buttery Tea Cakes
Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
1
Combine sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer until they reach a light and fluffy consistency. Gradually add eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before proceeding to the next. Incorporate vanilla extract into the mixture at this stage.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg to create a uniform blend. Gently fold this mixture into the creamed sugar and butter combination.
3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for several minutes, working it until it becomes smooth and pliable.
4
Cover the dough with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes, allowing it to firm up.
5
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), as specified in the original recipe.
6
On a surface dusted with flour, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Use cookie cutters to shape the dough into desired forms.
7
Arrange the cookies 1 1/2 inches apart on cookie sheets, leaving sufficient space between each one.
8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until their edges are golden brown.
9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheets for a short period before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
