1 ½ cup all purpose flour

Put aside a small bowl of white sugar and a drinking glass with a flat bottom. In a large bowl mix all the ingredients thoroughly. The mixture shouldn’t be too wet, and should stick together.   Add more flour to make the mixture firmer and hold together if necessary. Drop by teaspoonfuls, about 1 ½ inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Grease the bottom of the glass, dip it in the sugar, and stamp the cookies to flatten them slightly. Bake for about 10 minutes. This makes about 25 cookies, depending on the size. Store in an air-tight container or bag.
