Grandmas Drop Jumble Cookies Recipes

BUTTER JUMBLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar together.
• Blend in eggs and milk.
• Blend in flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. 4 cups of flour is the quantity from the original recipe. I find that I need to add a little more flour to get a better consistency for rolling out the dough.
• Chill for 1 hour.
• Roll and cut as desired. I like to roll them out a little thin. This makes them crispy like my grandmother used to make. Use a well floured surface and rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking.
• Place on a lightly greased or nonstick cookie sheet.
• Sprinkle with colored sugar sprinkles.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven.

GRANDMA WOLCOTTS CHOCOLATE JUMBLES (1912)

Steps:

• Mix soda into molasses then add brown sugar, eggs cinnamon, and cloves.
• Melt lard, butter and chocolate, then add to mixture.
• Sift in flour gradually, until stiff.
• Refrigerate to make dough hard and easy to roll.
• Roll out dough on floured surface until about 1/4 inch think.
• Cut using a "jumble cutter" (great grandma use to have these custom made) or cut ino 4 inch circles with a 1 inch hole in the middle. You can also use cookie cutters.
• Bake on ungreased cookie sheets for 7-9 minutes in 350 degree oven. The cookie edges will start to turn brown.
• Make a frosting with water and powdered sugar and frost cookies.
• Tip: If cookies dry out, place the heal of a piece of bread in the storage container.

JUBILEE JUMBLE COOKIES

Steps:

• For Cookies: Preheat oven to 375º. Mix shortening, sugar, and eggs thoroughly. Blend in sour cream and vanilla. Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl, then add to the mixture. Mix thouroughly and chill dough if too soft to handle. Drop rounded teaspoons full of dough onto a greased cookie sheet approximately 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes or until there are no more imprints in the dough.
• For Glaze: Melt butter until golden brown, remove from heat. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla. Add hot water to obtain glaze consistency; glaze should spread/flow smoothly on cookies(Should not be as thick as for icing). Glaze cookies.

• 11. ****Lillian***** You can add more orange zest and either orange extract or juice to the frosting. But if you use fresh juice make sure and add it before the milk so you will know how much milk you need to add. If the frosting gets to thin, just add some more powdered sugar. Hope you enjoy this, it is sooo good. You could also do this with lemon or lime the same way.
