Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1cupButter (no substitutions!)
½cupPowdered sugar
2cupsFlour

Directions

Cream together butter and sugar. Knead in flour. Place dough on cookie sheet and pat out a ¾ inch thick rectangle or circle. Prick surface.

Chill ½ hour. Bake 5 minutes at 375 degrees and 45 minutes at 300 degrees, until golden but not brown. Cut into squares or wedges.

[I've substituted whole wheat flour for half the white flour. It doesn't exactly make this a healthy treat, but it does add an interesting flavor and color.] Shared by Kathy Lankford Converted from INET55.TXT and Uploaded by D.WEISSGERBE
