Ingredients: 2
cups
all-purpose flour,
sifted
1
cup
sugar 3/4
cup
butter,
softened
1
egg,
slightly beaten
1
tablespoon
milk 1 1/2
teaspoons
vanilla
Directions:
Sift flour and sugar together into a mixing bowl. Add butter and work it
in
with tips of fingers or a pastry blender. Combine egg, milk and vanilla
and
stir into flour mixture. Mix well to form a dough. Shape into 1/2 inch
balls. If dough seems too soft, refrigerate until the desired consistency
is
reached before shaping. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie
sheet. Flatten balls to 1/16 inch thickness using the bottom of a glass
covered with a damp cloth. Bake in a 400 deg. oven for 6-8 minutes or
until
slightly browned around the edges. Do not bake too brown. Remove
immediately to a wire rack to cool. Store in a tightly covered
containter.
