I know so many people these days ARE supporting our military troops and one of the ways is by shipping them packages.
But not everyone bakes anymore. Wouldn’t your soldier like to get a tin full of home baked goodness?
These cookies have been around for decades. They were a cookie shipped to troops a LOT of years ago - so they should still be a great cookie for shipping.
Military Cookies
2 c sugar
1 c butter
5 eggs
1/2 c milk
1 t vanilla
1 t baking soda
4 1/2 c flour
Cream the sugar with the butter. Add eggs and mix well. Add soda, mix then alternate milk and flour until it’s all mixed in. Chill several hours or overnight. Roll out onto floured board and cut with your favorite cookie cutters. Bake on lightly greased cookie sheet for 10 min at 350 (or until light brown)
They’re basically a sugar cookie. Wrap two back to back and place in a tin or box with lots of padding.
