Maybe someone could help to bring back a loving memory of my Granny. We grew up in North Carolina and my Granny would make a cookie called a tea cake (and I thought they were the best in the world). Has anyone heard of them and if so do you have a recipe that you would share. It's been 40 years (I can't believe it's been that long ago) since I had one and it would be wonderful to be able to make some for my grandkids. Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jane ![](icons/icon_smile.gif)

Hello, this is my first time posting . I have a tea cake recipe. When I first moved to Louisiana my family here made them all the time. So my mother gave me a cookbook a church put together and I found a recipe I have stuck with ever since. Tea Cakes 2 sticks butter 1 1/2 c. sugar 2 eggs 1 TBSP vanilla 3 cups all purpose flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp. baking powder Cream together butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla, mix well. Mix flour, soda and baking powder. Mix the dry ingredients with the moist until well blended. Drop from teaspoon onto greased cookie sheet ( I like to sprinkle with sugar). bake at 350 for 10 minutes I hope they work well for you. These were my kids first cookies, they were soft and they loved them! |

Let me know how they turn out! They are very simple. Even if they are not exactly what you are looking for I think they are really good, and very easy! Great with a cup of coffee or some hot tea. I think I might make some today too........ not that I need them ![](icons/icon_smile_blush.gif) |
