Scottish Shortbread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. butter (no margarine)
1 c. granulated sugar
4 c. flour

Preparation

Place hard butter on a breadboard; add sugar on top and then flour.
Knead the butter, sugar and flour together until it becomes crumbly (about the size of peas).
Still continue to knead until this all forms into a ball.
Pat to 1/2-inch thick.
Cut with cookie cutters.
Chill several hours or overnight.
Prick well with a fork, and then bake at 250\u00b0 until light golden brown on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Place cookies about 1-inch apart, as they spread slightly when baked.
