Grandma’s Buttermilk Nutmeg Cookies
Ginger’s maternal grandmother made these soft, fragrant buttermilk cookies for her ten children. Ginger’s mom made them for her six children, and passed the buttermilk cookie recipe on to Ginger, who makes them in turn for her two children. The generations may change, but this buttermilk cookie is still a favorite.
If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, make sour milk by mixing 2 tablespoons of cider or white vinegar (or 2 tablespoons lemon juice) with a scant cup of milk.
Mark’s Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

This is one of those rare cookies where margarine actually works better than butter.
Pie Crust Cookies with Cinnamon Sugar
