Plain Drop Cookies

Oven, in the book's wordsA moderately hot oven

Ingredients

left-over sweets or creamed meats and vegetables
enough liquid to make a dough

Directions

The book says “a moderately hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

Combine left-over sweets or creamed meats and vegetables with enough liquid to form a dough that barely drops from the spoon.
Ensure the dough is not too soft to maintain shape.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a greased baking sheet.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes.
