This is from a Family Circle Christmas magazine, date
(maybe!) 1966. Only three ingredients!
Cream 1 cup butter (no substitutions!)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Knead in 2 cups flour
Place dough on cookie sheet and pat out a 3/4 inch
thick rectangle or circle. Prick surface. Chill 1/2 hour.
Bake 5 minutes at 375 degrees and 45 minutes at 300 degrees,
until golden but not brown. Cut into squares or wedges.
[I've substituted whole wheat flour for half the white flour.
It doesn't exactly make this a healthy treat, but it does
add an interesting flavor and color.]
