My Aunt makes these for every family get-together. They are so good our family fights over them as soon as they are brought out. This recipe is from an older version of the Betty Crocker Cookbook. I bought the new one and unfortunately it wasn't in there. I had to copy it out of my Aunt's version. The cookies are soft and cake-like. Enjoy!

But if you use fresh juice make sure and add it before the milk so you will know how much milk you need to add. If the frosting gets to thin, just add some more powdered sugar. Hope you enjoy this, it is sooo good. You could also do this with lemon or lime the same way.

Time 8m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • For the cookies,beat the shortening and softened butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating well. Add the egg, beating well. Add the buttermilk, vanilla, and ground nutmeg, mixing until blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to shortening mixture, beating well. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. For the topping, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the cookies. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Tips:

  • Proper Egg & Butter Temperature: Make sure your eggs and butter are at room temperature before mixing them together. This will help ensure a smooth and even batter.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: Take your time when creaming the butter and sugar together. This step helps incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in light and fluffy cookies.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps it set and prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking. This also makes it easier to transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.
  • Bake Cookies Until Just Set: The cookies should be slightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. Overbaking will result in dry and crumbly cookies.
  • Cool Cookies Completely: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and texture.

Conclusion:

Old-Fashioned Jubilee Jumbles are a delightful and nostalgic treat that is sure to bring back fond memories. With their crispy edges, chewy centers, and delicate flavor, these cookies are a perfect addition to any cookie platter or holiday gathering.
