Ammonia Cookies Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.

In a large bowl cream together the white sugar and butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time then stir in the sour cream milk and peppermint extract. Combine the salt and bakers' ammonia with 2 cups of the flour and blend into the mixture. Gradually add more flour to make a stiff dough. Leave the dough soft for drop cookies or add more flour to make cut-out cookies. Drop dough from heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven or until golden. When cool ice with a simple confectioners' glaze that has been flavored with peppermint if desired.
