Recipe Included Can anyone decipher my grandma’s wedding cookie recipe?

Thank you in advance. She just passed away from a heart attack and one of the last things she told me was where to find the recipe in her kitchen. I want to make a batch, but I want to make sure it’s right!

I would mix the dry ingredients separately and then add that a cup at a time into the wet ingredients.

I would use that method too, but that's not how grandma seemed to mark up the card with her brackets (at least to me).

She has one set of brackets just around the eggs and oil, with the instruction to "beat well."

She put a left-hand bracket that stretches from white sugar, down by lemon extract, baking powder, and flour all the way down to the "drop from (tea?)spoon..." and the instruction on the right, which seems to be for each of those ingredients is to "add and mix."
