NEW YORK COOKIES
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 pint of cold water
  • 1/2 pound of powdered white sugar
  • 3 pounds flour
  • 1 pound butter
  • 1 teaspoon of grated nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon of powdered cinnamon
  • 1 cup of water mixed with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder mixed with 2 tablespoons of warm water
Preparation:
  • Take a half-pint of cold water, and mix it with half a pound of powdered white sugar. 
  • Sift three pounds of flour into a large pan and cut up in it a pound of butter; rub the butter very fine into the flour. 
  • To that flour and butter mixture, add 1 teaspoon of grated nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of powdered cinnamon. Make the whole into a flour and work in 1 cup of water mixed with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Work in the sugar dissolved in cold water and make and stiff dough, adding, if necessary, a little cold water.
  • Dissolve 2 teaspoons of baking powder in just enough of warm water to cover it, and mix it in at the last. 
  • Take the lump of dough out of the pan, and knead it on the paste-board till it becomes quite light. Then roll it out rather more than half an inch thick, and cut it into square cakes with a cookie cuter or with a sharp knife. 
  • Stamp the surface of each square with a cake print. 
  • Lay them in buttered pans, and bake them of a light brown in a brisk oven. 
NOTE: They are similar to what are called New Year's cakes, and will keep two or three weeks.
