1/2 lb Butter 2 c Flour
1/2 c Confectioners’ sugar 1/4 ts Salt
Preheat the oven to 350F. Cream the butter, then gradually add the
sugar, beating well. Mix the flour and salt together and add to the
first mixture, combining thoroughly. Roll out the dough with a
rolling pin until it is 1/4-inch thick, then cut into rectangles or
any other shape desired. Put them on ungreased cookie sheets, prick
each cookie with a fork, and bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until
lightly browned around the edges.
