short bread cookies

Using a pastry knife, combine:

  • 1 lb butter
  • 3/4c brown sugar
  • 4c flour

Press the dough to approximately 3/8 of an inch thick, then cut into one-and-a-quarter-inch squares. Bake at 325° for 20-25 minutes. Watch carefully that they don’t get too dark, baby.

You can cut these in fancy shapes and add decorative stuff, if you wish, but simple is really better in this case.

I like the ones that are dark on the bottom. I had some biscuits the other day that were a little blackened on the edges. . . mmm.
