My Korean grandmother used to make the best sugar cookies growing up but now she is to old to see well enough to make them and can't remember how to. Hoping someone on here could help me get this translated so I can learn with her how to make them.

1/4 cup margarine
1.5 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 3/4 cups flour
I think the rest of the instructions are basic cookie making, add dry to wet. and looks like 10 minutes at 450 Fahrenheit.
Is she from the southeast province(s) of Korea? There’s definitely some dialect written in here (e.g. 수제 instead of 수저) or just outright misspellings (개란 instead of 계란, 캅 instead of 컵).
Anyways, it looks like the first ingredient refers to margarine (but again, it appears to be in a dialect so not 100% certain). I also can’t make out the units for it.
The next ingredient is sugar (1.5 cups)
2 Eggs
1 Teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 teaspoon of white (or white person) “something” – I actually can’t figure out what this is referring to at all
1/2 teaspoon of soda (baking soda, I presume)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2-3/4 cups of flour
It then says 2 tablespoons of milk and something but both milk and the other thing has been crossed out and underneath it appears to say 1 cup of sour cream.
On the right it says put it together and let it sit for 10 minutes. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 450 degrees.
EDIT – I think that “something” might actually say tartar? This is just my best guess but I don’t know how that goes into a cookie recipe so who knows?
Some of those spellings of ingredients are nonstandard because it looks like your grandmother is a Korean-American or Korean-Canadian and wrote down the names of English ingredients as she heard it in Korean. That is so cute.
