New Year's Cookies Recipe

Weigh out a pound of sugar, three-quarters of a pound of butter--stir

them to a cream, then add three beaten eggs, a grated nutmeg, two

table-spoonsful of caraway seed, and a pint of flour. Dissolve a

tea-spoonful of saleratus in a tea-cup of milk, strain and mix it with

half a tea-cup of cider, and stir it into the cookies--then add flour to

make them sufficiently stiff to roll out. Bake them as soon as cut into

cakes, in a quick oven, till a light brown.
