I have had this recipe for so long that I can’t remember where it came from, but I think I got it out of a magazine or newspaper. I like it because you can use the dough in so many different ways. For the Holidays, you can press half of a candied cherry in the center of unbaked cookie, and then after baking drizzle with either white or dark chocolate, melted.

- Gradually add the all-purpose flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients, mixing well to form a cohesive dough.
- For drop cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, then flatten each cookie with a flat-bottomed drinking glass that has been dipped in sugar for a decorative touch.
- For pressed cookies: Utilize a cookie press to shape the dough into your desired patterns or shapes onto the cookie sheets.
- For rolled cookies: Chill the dough for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until firm, then roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Use cookie cutters to create various shapes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are just beginning to turn golden brown around the edges. For a softer texture, reduce baking time slightly.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
