A Redditor was researching a murder that happened in their house years ago. They learned that the neighbor, who was a baker, won an award for these scotch cookies. Another Redditor commented that they should be called "murder cookies".

    Sift the dry ingredients and beat in with the milk.

    Drop by tablespoonful onto greased cookie sheet. Press them with a lightly floured glass no less than ¼" (1cm).

  4. 4

    Bake at 350° for about 9 minutes. The tops will begin to crack open. Cool and enjoy. I personally think they're even better the next day. Keep them in a tight Tupperware with a slice bread end to keep them soft.
