How to Make Old Timey Tea Cakes
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a cookie sheet.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, store in an airtight container for up to a week.
