Holiday baked goods can make an excellent gift – for someone on your list, or to take to the cookie exchange at work. To be economical, avoid the special flours, the real butter, chocolate, nuts and other special ingredients. Add eggs, milk and vanilla to sugar mix and beat well. Makes about 3 dozen cookies. 1 ½ t vanilla.
