Ammonia Cookies


Use Baker's Ammonia or Ammonia bicarbonate.

Mix all ingredients together. After making the dough, roll it out flat and cut with cookie cutter, place on cookie sheet and bake in 350 degree oven for about 12 minutes.

There are many who remember these cookies as being a lot like the ones you can buy at Christmastime - the Danish Sugar Cookies sold in the big tin. There is a little problem in acquiring the(baking) ammonia, however. If you go to the druggist to get the ammonia, it will cost you a pretty penny. We went to the local baker and he ordered a tin of it about the same size of the danish cookie tin above. It cost us about $15. That's enough to last a lifetime. And be careful when you open the tin. The ammonia fumes can knock you out.

Hmm, intriguiging, but what's the rest of the recipe after you put the ammonia into the milk?
