SOUTHERN TEA CAKES

These Southern Tea Cakes are more like a cookie than a classic cake. They date back to Colonial days, and are a buttery soft delight that can be enjoyed year-round.

– all purpose flour – baking soda – cream of tarter – ground nutmeg – salted butter – granulated sugar – eggs – pure vanilla extract  – pure almond extract – powdered sugar for dusting

KEY Ingredients

You can replace ½ cup butter with ½ cup butter flavored shortening for less spread while baking. Using all butter makes it a little more difficult for the cookies to keep their shape.

You can also shape these cookies into balls, slightly flattening on the baking sheet, for a different style.

It's important to keep the dough chilled. If baking in batches, place cut cookies into the fridge, to keep chilled until baking.
