  4 eggs

  1/2 cup milk

  6 cups flour
• 
  
  3 teaspoons baking powder

  1/2 teaspoon salt

  1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg

In large bowl, sift dry ingredients together. Add creamed milk/butter and extracts slowly to mixture using a low setting on your mixer.  When dough resembles "Playdough," remove and roll out on lightly floured board.  Cut into cookie shapes or just leave rolled out and place on cookie sheet.

Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes at 350*.

Cool for  5 minutes. If you opted for leaving dough flat on cookie sheet, now is the time to cut into squares.

Yields 1 1/2 to 2 dozen T-cakes.

Tasty Snack Nuts 

• 3/4 cup butter 2 large egg whites, room temperature

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 Tablespoon cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon salt (if unsalted nuts) 5 cups nuts (your favorites - walnuts and pecans yield excellent results, but those are my favorites)

  

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 10 1/2 x 15 1/2 inch pan with aluminum foil. Put butter in pan to melt while oven is heating. Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in cinnamon and salt. Fold in nuts.

Spread nut mixture over melted butter in pan. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring 3 or 4 times to keep nuts separated during baking. Cool in pan for 5 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer nuts to brown paper or wax paper to cool completely. Store in jars or tightly covered containers.

This is a great party gift or stocking stuffers for Christmas......Yummy!
