These are at their most amazing right out of the oven. Okay, maybe let them cool a little. But not for long, because the rich, buttery flavor and crackle of these doesn’t get better with age. You can see the little ring marks where I pressed the glass into the cookies just like Grandma Freda insisted. Hopefully I didn’t cook them too long!
Grandmom Seipp’s Real Butter Cookies
Submitted by
(This is my husband’s grandmom’s sugar cookie recipe (Fredericka “Freda” Stockhausen Wrightson Seipp). She baked these for her children and grandchildren. She wrote the recipe for me from memory when she was 101 years old. I made them for her and thought she’d be delighted since she no longer had a kitchen in her retirement home room [she did not go to nursing care until 104!]. She took one bite and said: “You cooked these too long.” So, don’t cook these too long.)
1 cup butter (NOT margarine according to Grandmom)
1 cup sugar
1 egg
½ tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
2 2/3 cups sifted flour
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Blend in flour and salt.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten with bottom of glass (dip it in sugar so it won’t stick).
Bake 7-8 minutes at 375 degrees. Cool on wire rack.
