Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.

- Cut into 2-inch pieces and place on a cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375°F until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, sift the flour before adding it to the mixture to ensure a light texture. If you prefer a healthier alternative, you can substitute half of the margarine with unsweetened applesauce. Additionally, consider adding chocolate chips or nuts to the dough for extra flavor. Remember to adjust baking time if you make larger cookies.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are delightful on their own, but they also pair beautifully with a glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee. For a fun twist, serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert experience. You can also consider serving them at gatherings or with Country-Style Potato Salad for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Lep Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them by placing layers of parchment paper between cookies in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, simply warm in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes until soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of other types?
Yes, all-purpose flour works perfectly for Lep Cookies. It provides the right structure and texture. If you want to experiment, you can mix in whole wheat flour for a slightly denser cookie, but start with a 50-50 blend to see how you like it.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky to handle, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it’s manageable. Alternatively, chilling the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes can also help firm it up, making it easier to roll and cut.
Can I make these cookies in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 3 days before baking. Alternatively, you can bake the cookies and freeze them, which allows for quick and easy treats whenever you want. Just thaw at room temperature before serving.
