Moon Cookies

Tonight after dinner I was reading a book called "The Moon Might Be Milk" by Lisa Shulman. I had never read this book, but was pleased by the outcome- a recipe for "Gran's Sugar Cookie Moons". I said to the boys, "I have all the ingredients, let's make some cookies" The boys were up for the challenge. Our kitchen is so small and we don't often all get in there and cook together, but this turned out great.
The cookies are really simple and really tasty. I love good books and good food and spending time with my "sweet" boys!!
Recipe:
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup soft butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheet
2. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt
3. In another bowl, mix butter and sugar. Stir in egg, milk and vanilla
4. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and mix well
5. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart
6. To flatten each cookie and make it sparkle, grease the bottom of glass.
Dip the glass into sugar and press it onto the dough
7. Bake 10 to 12 minutes

ENJOY!!
