Granny’s Sliced Cookies

1cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar

1 ½ cups butter or margarine
3 eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon salt
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Method:

Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves & salt. Cream the room temperature butter with the sugars. Add the beaten eggs & then mix in the dry ingredients & nuts. Mix thoroughly & form into 3 rolls about as big around as a baby food jar. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap & place in a Zip Loc bag & refrigerate or freeze. They keep well in the refrigerator & can be sliced & baked as desired. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator before slicing. I can still smell these coming out of the wood stove oven at my Granny’s house. They were so good with a cold glass of milk! We still enjoy them in our family today! Mary Lou Smith
