Shortbread  "Aunt Maggie"
1 lb butter
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
4 cups flour
 
Knead together to make a dough, place on floured board, roll out 1/4 inch thick and cut into shapes,
with cutters or rectangles and triangles.  I like to shape them into 1 inch balls place them on cookie sheet and press them with a sugared glass or cookie press, (much easier)
Bake in a 300 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned.  While still hot I sprinkle with sugar and put on wire rack to cool.  Red or green sugar looks pretty at Christmas.
