All-Purpose Holiday Cookies
(Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies)
2 Cups All-purpose Flour
1/4 tsp. Ground Nutmeg
1/8 tsp. Ground Allspice
1 1/4 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 Egg, beaten
1/3 Cup vegetable oil
1/4 Cup Milk
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the dry ingredients
and the oil together in a large mixing bowl. Beat remaining
ingredients until light and fluffy. Add to the mixing bowl with the mixture and stir together. Allow the mixture to chill for at least two hours--overnight is better.
Divide the mixture into four sections for easier handling. Roll the dough out on a generously floured cutting board until it is about 1/8th of an inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters and place the cut-outs onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, until cookies are stiff and a light golden color. Do not bake until brown or cookies will become hard and brittle.
