Tea Cakes

On Father's Day I always think of Tea Cakes. My dad loves this cookie & when I go and visit I try to bring some. Unfortunatley I found with the craziness of just getting back from Florida & trying to pack up for Kansas plus make it to all of that week's activities (not to mention being a mom of 2) I did not manage to make my dad any. So many excuses for not managing to make something special for the man that did so much for my family. I'm going to use this as a reminder that I need to think less of myself & more of others. I suppose the obvious bible verse comes to mind: "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you" ~ Matthew 7:12. So, take some time to make cookies for someone you love :) and I will be sure to make my dad tea cakes the next time I go to Kansas!

Tea Cakes
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
4 Tbsp. Butter
3 Eggs
1/2 Cup Milk
1 Tbsp. Vanilla
6 Cups Flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
dash salt

- Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, milk & vanilla, mix well.
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt. It should feel like bisucit dough.
- Roll thin & cut (I usually like them kind of thick). Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes.

(Traditionally these cookies are cut into circles, however, when I am making these with Evie I let her pick out some fun cookie cutters). Enjoy!
