Old Fashion Southern Style Tea Cakes (The Way I Remember Them)

kitchensjoi.blogspot.com

1 ½ cup of butter flavored shorting (to me this held the moister better than butter, also I used the pre-measured sticks)

2 cups of sugar (trust me, you need all 2 cups, I tried with 1 ¾ cups and it wasn't sweet enough)

3 room temp eggs

5 cups of cake flour (cake flour makes the inside of the cookie softer to me)

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla

4 tbsp buttermilk

¼ tsp of lemon extract (this is that little something I added that none of the other recipes had, this is what was missing) (I've recently changed my mind about the lemon, omit this ingredient)

I also added a few sprinkle of cinnamon and a small dash of nutmeg, this is something the other recipes were missing as well. I'd same maybe ½ tsp of cinnamon and just a dash of nutmeg. The cookies really do need this hint of spice to me.
