these cookies are so yummy. back home (texas) we called them ‘sandies’. use regular flour.
Also known as russian tea cookies I believe but from I remember russian tea cookies don’t have the cinnamon in them.
Patty I would say just plain flour Patty. These cookies don’t rise, from what I remember.
Self rising or plain flour?
