Drop a half-teaspoon at a time on a lightly buttered cookie sheet leaving plenty of space between the wafers. Bake about 20 minutes in a moderately slow oven (325degrees). The wafer will spread out and form a flat rim, when this rim is light brown, the wafers are done.

Sugar Cookies

Stamm is a family name on my father’s side, I doubt this is a relative from Grandma Rose but it is fun to think that maybe it could be; she did have quite a few brothers and sisters in Germany.

1# (pound) sugar 4 eggs well beaten

1 lemon rind (fresh)

Flour enough to make a dough for drop cookies.

The success of these cookies depends on how long and well the dough is beaten. The eggs should first be beaten separately, then mixed & beaten again, then the sugar added & beaten again. Care must be taken not to add too much flour.
