-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Butter (no substitutions!)
1/2 c Powdered sugar
2 c Flour

Cream together butter and sugar. Knead in flour. Place
dough on cookie sheet and pat out a 3/4 inch thick
rectangle or circle. Prick surface. Chill 1/2 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.]
