Day 3 - Gammy Pegs Cutouts

Prep Time:  30 Min
Cook Time:  7 Min
Servings: 10 Dozen
*Refrigerate dough overnight  


Ingredients
1 C. Butter
2 C. Sugar
1 t. Salt
1 t. Nutmeg
1 t. Fresh Orange Rind
4 Eggs
4 T. Milk
4 1/2 C. Sifted Flour
2 t. Baking Powder
1 t. Baking Soda


Frosting Ingredients
2 C. Powder Sugar
2 T. Corn Syrup
1 t. Fresh Orange Rind
2 T. Milk


Directions
Cream Butter, Sugar, Salt, Nutmeg and Fresh Orange Rind.  Add Unbeaten Eggs, Milk.  In another bowl, sift Flour, Baking Powder, and Baking Soda.  Combine flour mixture into creamed mixture.  Refrigerate overnight.  Bake at 375 for 7 Minute.  Completely cool. Frost cookies and sprinkle/decorate.




Helpful Hints
The recipe originally came from Auntie Carol Bassett with a few modifications from Gammy Pegs.  Straight from Gammy Pegs, "Only grate the orange color on the Orange Grind - the white will create a sour taste on the cookies."  Sifting the Flour, Baking Powder, and Baking Soda is an absolute must.  Tillie slept the entire time these cookies were made.  Too bad, she missed out on her favorites - butter AND eggs!
