Jumbles No. 2
A classic cookie recipe from the late 19th century, featuring a simple dough rolled in chopped peanuts and sugar, then baked to a golden brown.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Butter
- 2 cups Sugar
- 6 Eggs
- 1.5 pints Flour
- 0.5 cup Corn Starch
- 1 teaspoon Royal Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Royal Extract Lemon
- 0.5 cup Chopped Peanuts
- 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar (For coating)
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, beat together 1 1/2 cups of butter and 2 cups of sugar until smooth and creamy.
- 2Add 6 beaten eggs to the butter and sugar mixture. In a separate bowl, sift together 1 1/2 pints of flour, 1/2 cup of corn starch, and 1 teaspoon of Royal Baking Powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 teaspoon of Royal Extract Lemon.
