SC - Plum Pudding

[Louise Sugar]

I was asked for my wife's butter cookie recipe.  Here it is.  Tain't period,
however.

    2 sticks of butter (salted, or add a pinch of salt)
    3/4 cup of white sugar
    2 1/2 or 2 3/4 cups of sifted white flour
    1 tsp baking powder
    1 egg, beaten
    1 tsp vanilla, or equivalent in almond extract or t Tbsp amaretto or other
      flavored alcohol

    Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.  Add egg and flavoring.  Fold
    in the flour baking powder and salt (if any), until the dough
    cleans the bowl.

    Roll into walnut sized balls and flatten, score with a fork.  Or,
    use a cookie press.

    Decorate with sugar sprinkles if you like, or make a depression and
    fill with jam.

    Bake @ 325 on an ungreased pan, approx 8-10 minutes or until the
    edges are brown.  Remove from pan after one minute, and let cool,
    if you can wait that long!
