Washboard Cookies
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp hot water
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1-3/4 cups flour
- Sugar to dust
DIRECTIONS
- Cream butter, brown sugar, and egg in a mixing bowl. Add water and vanilla. Mix together rest of ingredients and add to the creamed mixture. Shape into walnut-sized balls and place on greased baking sheets. Flatten with a fork dipped in water and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 325 for 15-20 minutes. Makes 3-1/2 dozen.
- (Using a fork didn't work for me, I used the bottom of a small juice glass dipped in water.)
