CHRISTMAS BUTTER COOKIES

Christmas Butter Cookies

     From Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking, Ephrata, PA.

                                               Published  along time ago, I got mine in 1987.

 

as you can see, the one I have has been well loved.


Christmas Butter Cookies

1 cup soft butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/4 cups flour

Cream butter until it resembles whipped cream and slowly add the sugar, beating well.
Add flour gradually and blend thoroughly.
Wrap in waxed paper and chill for several hours.
Knead dough slightly on floured board, form into a smooth ball.
Roll out to about 1/8 inch thick and cut to desired shapes.
Place on ungreased cookies sheets and bake in moderate oven (350*) about 12 minutes.
When cold decorate with butter icing, candied fruits, ect.

When I make them I'll post the picture, here's the recipe for now.


`til next time
