My Aunt Charlotte gave me this recipe which is based on the treats her
Mother (my Grandmother) used to make for us. My favorite was the "Onion
Pletzl Cookie" which is a savory sweet Gramma used to bake and bring to our
houseusually in a shoebox lined with wax paper.G

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix dry ingredients, then add liquids. Blend
well, and let stand for one hour. Divide dough in half, and roll (on wax
paper or lightly floured board) til you have a sheet about 1/8" thin. Place
on a cookie sheet and using a pizza cutter or knife, cut diagonally into
diamonds (repeatedly crisscrossing sheet.) You *can* cut them with a
cookie cutter or water glass into rounds, but this is a quick, virtually
foolproof method.

Bake in 400 degree oven 10 to 20 minutes, depending on your oven. Cookies
should be a dark tan color.

Onion Pletzl Cookies: Using above recipe, add a medium to large chopped
onion to dough before letting it sit, and bake as above!
