Stir the flour into the creamed mixture. Chill for 1-1.5 hours or until firm.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Roll the dough into small (1/2 teaspoon) balls with your hands, and press down to 1/8 '' with your fingers.
Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until you notice that the bottom of the cookies are turning golden brown.
Allow cookies to cool.
