Mrs. Jemison'S Jumbles
- 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground mace
- 1/3 cup sugar
- Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and mace; add to butter mixture, beating until blended.
- Divide dough into 8 portions; divide each portion into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a 3-inch log, and gently press ends together to form a circle.
