Grandma Delores's Christmas Cookie Recipe

I can't believe I haven't posted this yet. This is Grandma Delores's Christmas cookie recipe as given to me by my mother-in-law. Also a tip, to help make or keep cookies soft, add a slice of bread to the container you are storing the cookies in.

2 c sugar
2 c milk
2 c oleo (margarine)
1 tsp salt
3 eggs
1/2 tsp anis oil (optional, my mother-in-law does not use it)
1 oz hartshorn (ammonium carbonate) dissolve in milk

Mix all ingredients together. Mix enough flour in until you can roll out the dough. Bake until done. I think around 10 minutes.

Here is more info about hartshorn.

Here is the same recipe my mother-in-law sent in an email to a relative.
