Ingredients

3/4

cup butter, softened

5

tablespoons sugar

2

cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir butter and 4 tablespoons of the sugar until well mixed. Stir in flour. (If dough is crumbly, mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons more softened butter.)

Roll dough on lightly floured surface until 1/2 inch thick; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Cut into small shapes with knife or use cookie cutters. On ungreased cookie sheets, place shapes 1/2 inch apart.

Bake about 20 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.
