1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
salt to taste
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in vanilla. Add the flour, one teaspoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the milk and baking soda. Drop dough by half-teaspoonfuls onto unprepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
