Cookie Shortcut

A lot of the recipes I have found have shortcuts, or make aheads.

I have a make ahead recipe for corn bread, coffee cake, and now cookies.

The ingredients are easy to put together. It’s really just creaming three ingredients.

I stored the starter in a mason jar. I used most of the starter right away to make the Orange and Lemon Wafers.

I still have about half the jar. I am looking forward to making some more of the starter recipes.

The starter does save a little time, maybe a few minutes. It seems a bit unnecessary to me, but. . . .

COOKIE STARTER

2 1/4 Cups Sifted Flour

3/4 Teaspoon Salt

1 Cup Butter

Sift flour and salt. Cut in butter. Store in a clean jar with a tight fitting lid.
