Notes: OK, so dad didn’t have a good mixer and did everything by hand. In an actual large pot. It was amazing to watch when I was younger. He used to let me roll the dough and cut the pieces with him. Loved helping him with was a rarity because he usually didn’t want anyone watching him. Lol
I’ve changed this a bit. I use a mixer and recently made cookies with butter instead of Crisco.
Mix all wet ingredients and then add flour/baking powder and salt mixture.
Dad would have loved my heavy duty mixer.
