Mom'S Old Fashioned Sugar Cakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. margarine
2 eggs
2 c. sugar
3 1/2 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 c. buttermilk

Preparation

Beat margarine until fluffy.
Add eggs and sugar; beat well after addition.
Add 1/3 of flour to mixture; mix well.
Add 1/2 cup of buttermilk and mix well.
Add 1/2 of remaining flour, remaining buttermilk and remainder of flour, mixing well after each addition.
Chill dough in refrigerator.
Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet, 2 to 3-inches apart. Sprinkle cookies with sugar and top with 2 raisins.
Bake at 375\u00b0 for 10 to 12 minutes.
I like to start them on low level about 5 to 6 minutes, and then move them to higher level for rest of baking time.
