Nellie's Shortbread
This is the shortbread we had as kids, as made by Nellie M. I’m looking for a round cookie cutter with a serrated edge, to make my cookies look like Nellie’s.
1 lb. butter
1 c. fruit sugar (scant)
4 c. flour
1 tsp vanilla
Mix and knead very well.
Roll and cut.
Bake at 375° for 5 minutes; then turn down to 300° until lightly browned.
