Ingredients

  • 13 lbs flour
  • 9 lbs sugar
  • 8 teaspoons salt
  • 8 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 8 lbs butter
  • 16 large eggs
  • 16 tablespoons flavoring (I use vanilla, butter & nut by McCormick)

Method

  • In a gigantic bowl, combine first 5 ingredients and mix well with hand mixer.
  • Cut in butter, by slices, until mixture resembles cornmeal.
  • Add eggs and flavoring and mix well.
  • Shape approximately 3-4 cups of dough into a long tube. Cover tube with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to bake, slice dough into rounds approximately 1/4-inch thick and place 2-inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet (or parchment covered cookie sheet).
  • Bake at 325°F for 15-18 minutes. Cool.
  • In the past, I have added chocolate chips, raisins and nuts to the basic mix for a different type of cookie.
