Tea Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups plus 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and salt. Beat well. Beat in oil and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together and mix in. Makes a very soft dough. Drop by scant teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Oil bottom of a glass -- dip into a dish of sugar -- flatten cookies on pan. (One oiling will do -- the oil in the cookies will take care of it). Dip in sugar before every cookie.
Bake for 8 minutes at 350°. Makes 7 dozen. Store tightly covered.

The Casserole

2 sticks of butter or margarine, melted
15 slices of white bread
3 cups diced cooked ham (I use deli ham)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 eggs, beaten
3 cups Half n' Half
Brush both sides of bread slices with melted butter. Cut bread into small cubes. In a large bowl, combine bread with all other ingredients. Stir well.
Pour into a greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Put into a cold oven and bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour or until golden.
Let stand for 10 minutes. Cut into large squares to serve. Makes 6-8 servings.
