Tag Recipe:
Preheat oven to 350º F. In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup butter until softened. Blend in 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla, beating until mixed. Add the entire cookie-in-a-canister contents and stir until well blended. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. Makes 30 cookies.
