👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In large bowl, combine all the ingredients and beat until well mixed. This will be a sticky, thick mixture.

It is easier to roll the dough if it is divided into two or three portions.

Spoon out each portion of dough and place it on a well-floured surface. Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough and carefully form it into a disk.

Don't work too much flour into the dough because you want a crisp (short-type) cookie. Roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Cut with a 3-inch cookie cutter. Place the cookies on ungreased cookie sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Teacakes don't have to be uniform in shape, so don't worry if each cookie is not round. Repeat with the remaining dough. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned on top.

Remove to a rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.
