Cookie Recipe for Authentic Southern Tea Cakes
Remove from heat and mix in the flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium-sized bowl.
Combine the sugar and butter in a mixing bowl and beat at high speed for four to five minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Add one egg and vanilla essence, then beat on medium speed until combined.
Last but not least, reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add flour mixture, mixing well after each addition.
Put the dough in a Ziploc bag and refrigerate for at least an hour to firm it up after mixing. After the machine is off, remove the dough from the mixer.
