Grace's Cookies
Ingredients:
1¼ cups of flour
2½ cups if doubling the recipe
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon if doubling together
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon if doubling
Mix flour, soda & salt together
1¼ cups of light brown sugar
2½ cups if doubling
1/3 cup stick margarine
2/3 cups if doubling
Mix brown sugar & margarine together
1 egg
2 eggs if doubling
1 cup pecans
2 cups if doubling
Bake at 350 degrees for 7 – 10 minutes (depending on how hot your oven is or how large your cookies are…start with the lower time and check.) If cookies are a light brown and a little brown around the edge they are done….take them out and let them cool on a rack before eating. They will appear to be soft and will continue to cook as they cool. Do not cook them until they are hard. They freeze well.
First mix brown sugar and soften margarine together; when well mixed, add flour mixture gradually, adding egg for moisture when needed. You may have to add a tablespoon of water if batter is too stiff. Add pecans. With teaspoons form medium to large size lumps on cookie sheets.
MUST BE A STIFF BATTER.
Do Not Grease Cookie Sheets Unless They Are New! If they are new the cookies will stick and blacken
due to the coating and the cookie sheet must be greased.
Makes 25 – 45 cookies
Makes 70 – 90 cookies (if doubling the recipe)
