Cookies

Yield

1 Pan

Sift flour and confectioner's sugar, then cut in butter until the mixture is crumbly. Knead for 10 minutes.

Pat dough into a ¼-inch-thick rectangle (14 by 12 inches) on an ungreased cookie sheet. Cut into 2-inch diamonds or squares.

Bake at 300 F, 45 minutes or until golden.

Recut the cookies at the marks and separate carefully while still warm.

Dave's notes: This was a great favorite of my grandfather, Albert Stewart.

Rather than greasing a cookie sheet, though, I prefer to make these on a cookie sheet lined with parchment. From: Dave Sacerdote Date: 12 Feb 97 Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V4 #203 by BobbieB1@... on Aug 4, 1997
