I have been making these forever. It has been handed down from generation to generation. These are a great buttery cookie. They are delicious. They even get better as they age. Enjoy. These are fast to make and bake. Ingredients:
4 cups sifted flour |
2 cups softened sweet butter |
1 cup sugar |
1 egg well beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Measure and sift flour, again, measure and sift again.
2. Set this aside.
3. Cream butter with mixer really well, add sugar SLOWLY & keep creaming until light and fluffy.
4. Add egg and beat well.
5. Add sifted flour small amount at a time. Mixing well after each addition.
6. Add vanilla
7. Divide dough into 2 batches.
8. Shape each batch into a long roll about 12 inches & 1 1/2 in diameter.
9. Chill overnight.
10. Before baking take the rolls out 20 minutes before baking.
11. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
12. On un-greased cookie sheet or sheet lined with parchment paper (which I use)
13. Slice cookies very thin 1/4 thin or less, if you cut this thicker it is more like shortbread, both ways are wonderful. I prefer thin.
14. Bake these on 400 degrees for ONLY 4-5 minutes tops!
15. These are not to brown.
16. They may brown a bit on edges that is ok, don’t let all the cookie brown. I watch them very carefully so they don't brown at all. But if edges
