Today I have decided to do my Christmas baking.  This recipe for Shortbread was given to me by my neighbor in late 70.

I have tried a few other recipes but found this to be the best.

Ingredients

• 2                 cups Butter
• 1                 cup Berry Sugar
• 4-1/4         cups all purpose flour

Instructions

1. Cream butter and sugar till light and creamy, about 5 minutes.
2. Gradually add the flour.  Turn this onto a floured surface and kneed till it cracks (about 20 minutes).
3. Divide dough into 4 parts.
4. Roll each quarter to 1/4 thickness.
5. Cut in shapes with a cookie cutter.
6. Put the cookies 1” apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
7. Bake in a preheated 300 degrees oven for 20 – 25 min.
