"Last Minute" Cookies

Melt butter slightly in the microwave.

Add sugar and cream, then eggs and beat well. Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the milk and vanilla.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork dipped in sugar and sprinkle a little more sugar on top.

Bake at 350° for 6 to 8 minutes until light golden brown around the edges.

You can bake these 1/2 hour before you dash off to a meeting and everyone will love these soft, super good cookies.

If you have a little more time, chill the dough and it is good rolled out and cut with cookie cutters.
