Old Fashioned Tea Cakes (Cookies)
4 cups flour 2 cups sugar 1 cup butter 1 cup sour cream 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon vanilla Cinnamon, nutmeg or sugar to sprinkle (optional) Cream butter, add sugar gradually and mix well. In another bowl wisk dry ingredients together. To the butter and sugar mixture, add sour cream alternately with dry ingredients and mix well between each addition. On lightly floured surface roll out as moist as possible (add flour to surface, as needed) and very thin (1/4" or thinner). Cut out with favorite cookie cutters dipped in flour. Transfer to cookie sheet and brush off excess flour with brush. Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg or sugar, if desired. Bake in oven at 450 degrees about 10 min or until very very lightly brown. Tips: Dough is very moist and sometimes difficult to work with. Avoid working more flour into the dough as this will make the cookies tough. Originally, we used a drinking glass dipped in flour to cut them out. The thinner they are, the crisper they come out of the oven. These cookies are worth the effort! Great for dunking in coffee. Original recipe came from 1946 recipe book "Favorite Dallas County Recipes" by the Dallas County Home Demonstrators Club. This has been a favorite family recipe since then and has passed from generation to generation. -- Rec.food.recipes is moderated by Patricia Hill at .
