Classic lemon cookies with rare bakers' ammonia for a unique twist, reminiscent of days gone by and easily sourced at the drugstore.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons bakers' ammonia
- 2.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup lard
- 1 teaspoon lemon oil
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) while you dissolve the ammonia in the milk. Set aside once done.
- Combine lard and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add lemon oil, eggs, and salt. Alternate adding milk and flour to create a soft dough. Roll into walnut-sized balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with a sugared glass.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until firm. Then transfer the cookies from the sheets to wire racks to cool.
