    Presidential Cookies

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup soft butter (one stick)
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 egg beaten
    2 tablespoons milk
    2 1/2 cups sifted cake flour
    1 cup dried fruit (cherries, apricots, or currants), chopped

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter with sugar, then add vanilla, salt, egg, and milk. Blend well. Add flour. Mix in dried fruit. Chill dough for about one hour. Use a small cookie scoop to form small rounds. Place the rounds on a greased cookie sheet and bake for about 12 minutes. Cool on a rack. Recipe yields three dozen cakes.

    The dough can be used to make larger cakes to serve for breakfast or brunch. Use an ice cream scoop to create six or seven mounds on a cookie sheet. Bake them for about 25 minutes until light brown. Split the cakes and serve them with butter and honey.
