Ingredients:

Directions:
Directions:
Cream the butter and sugar.
Stir in flour until well mixed.

If the dough is too crumbly, add 1 -2 additional tablespoons of butter (very soft or melted). Some brands of butter just seem to need this little extra to make the dough workable and the cookies tender.

Roll or pat the dough to 1/4" thickness. Cut out circles approximately 6". Place onto cookies sheet. Cut circles into wedges. (I use pizza cutter) Push the wedges apart just a hair for more even baking.

Bake 20 minutes at 350º
