Ammonia Cookies

• 2 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups sour cream
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons bakers' ammonia
• 3 cups all-purpose flour

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the white sugar and butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sour cream, milk and peppermint extract. Combine the salt and bakers' ammonia with 2 cups of the flour and blend into the mixture. Gradually add more flour to make a stiff dough. Leave the dough soft for drop cookies or add more flour to make cut-out cookies. Drop dough from heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. When cool, ice with a simple confectioners' glaze that has been flavored with peppermint if desired.
