Great Grandma Hornsby's York Cookies Ingredients

1/2 cup Butter only!	1 tablespoon Milk
1/2 cup Sugar	1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
1 cup Flour	1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 Egg	1 tablespoon Lemon Juice OR OJ

Instructions for Great Grandma Hornsby's York Cookies

Preheat oven to 375*.

Mix the butter and sugar until it becomes creamy and light. Gradually add the flour until well mixed. In a seperate cup, beat the egg and the milk together. Add the milk / egg mixture to the flour ingredients. Mix again. Add the remaining ingredients.

Spray a cookie sheet with Baker's Joy or another type of no stick product. Spread the dough thin so it is about 1/4 of an inch thick. The best way to do this is pretend you are frosting a cake.

Once the dough has been spread, sprinkle with sugar, and bake until it is a golden brown.

Cut into squares and serve with coffee, tea, or milk.
