Any cookie recipes that call for self rising flour?

I'm trying to use up the last couple cups of self rising flour I have. I usually only buy a bag around the holidays for different cakes and things that I do.





Do you have any simple cookie recipes using this?Any cookie recipes that call for self rising flour?
Generally you can use it in any cookie recipe that calls for flour, salt and leavening(baking soda or baking powder). Just substitute it cup for cup for the all-purpose flour and then leave out the added salt and leavening. The trick is to find cookie recipes that take the exact amount of flour you have!Any cookie recipes that call for self rising flour?

With only a couple of cups, how about trying a recipe? I have used self-rising flour (I live on a secluded farm, far away from stores!) in a few occasions and things have turned out fine. I think I used it in scratch chocolate chip cookies. I believe I omitted the baking powder in hopes of ';righting'; the wrong flour.


Cheers
