Time 20m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup shortening
1 3/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Mix flour, 2 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and cinnamon together.
  • Cut in shortening until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
  • Stir in egg and just enough milk so dough leaves side of bowl.
  • Turn dough onto lightly floured surface.
  • Knead lightly 10 times.
  • Roll dough 1/2 inch thick.
  • Cut with floured doughnut cutter.
  • Hold opposite ends of each ring and twirl to form a figure 8.
  • Place bows and buttons (holes) on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Dip into melted butter, then into sugar.
  • I add cinnamon to my sugar usually.
  • I also put sugar in a plastic bag and gently roll it around with the doughnuts inside after dipping in the butter.

These cookies were a waste of time. They weren't good at all.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't look anything like the picture. They were flat and didn't have any definition.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies didn't turn out right. They were too dry and crumbly.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover candy. I had some extra chocolate chips and sprinkles, and they worked perfectly in this recipe.
