Remove from heat and stir until it begins to thicken. Spread quickly on cookies. ICING II: 2 C. White sugar, 1 tb. butter, 1/2 Cup milk, (enough to dissolve sugar). Cook over medium heat to a soft ball stage. Beat by hand until creamy. Spread on cookies quickly. These cookies keep great in our old stone jar. Christmas isn't Christmas without these cookies, cut with a scalloped cutter, for Santa. This recipe has been in my mother's family since the 1860's. The original was in a newspaper sent in by a lady from Little Turkey, Iowa. Judith Berney RMMS18B. -----
