Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F / 190°C. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
Stir together dry ingredients. Cut in butter until it forms a crumbly mix.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix well.
Roll out dough on floured surface and cut into shapes. Or drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375°F / 190°C until lightly browned on bottoms or edges; about 8-10 minutes. Makes about 3-5 dozen cookies, depending on size.
Notes
Add milk if needed to make the dough soft enough to drop by spoonfuls.
