Vanilla Cookies

Ingredients

 * ½ cup sugar
 * 6 tablespoons solid vegetable fat
 * 1/8 teaspoon salt
 * 1 teaspoon vanilla flavor
 * 1 tablespoon milk
 * 1 egg
 * About 2-1/3 cups flour, or enough to make a medium soft dough

Directions
To prepare this Vanilla Cookies Recipe, first put fat, salt, vanilla and milk into a bowl, and work with a spoon until creamy. Add the sugar gradually, stirring constantly until well creamed and white. Mix in the well beaten egg, and fold in the flour to a rather soft dough. Divide into 2 or 3 pieces so as to be handled more easily, and roll out on a well floured board to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with a floured biscuit cutter, lay in baking pan, and bake in a medium slow oven to a very light brown color.
