1 c. soft butter
1/2 c. sugar
2-1/2 c. sifted flour
Mix butter and sugar thoroughly. Stir in flour. Mix thoroughly with hands as for pie dough. Roll out to 1/3" thickness. Cut. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 300 deg. about 20-25 minutes.
This is a crisp, thick and buttery cookie. Does not brown much except pale golden tan around edges and on bottom. Can be placed quite close together on cookie sheet because dough does not spread.
