Ingredients

2 sticks butter - softened

2 Cups flour

5/8 Cup sugar

Directions

Using a pastry cutter (or your hands!) cream butter.

Add sugar - mix well.

Add flour - mix well. The dough will be pretty firm.

Shape into small balls, placing on ungreased cookie sheet, and flatten out gently.

Bake at 350 for 10 min or until *lightly* browned on the bottom. Cookie will not brown unless burned :)

Shortbread is generally a dry cookie so these are great with coffee, tea or a glass of ice cold milk!

The recipe is the basic; For a little something extra, try sprinkling a little bit of cinnamon sugar over the cookies before baking. Enjoy!
