COOKIES
(Yield: 3 dozen)
¼ cup butter or margarine, softened
1¼ cups sugar

3½ cups self-rising flour
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick
vegetable spray.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in
flour, 2 tablespoons at a time, until used up. Shape into walnut-sized

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from
