Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl mix the butter and sugar together until creamy and smooth. Slowly add the flour until the dough becomes will mixed and almost crumbly. Once you have a very stiff and dry dought, place in the refrigerator for 30 mins.

lighly flour a board and retrieve the dough. You can either place in a square baking pan and cut into squares or press the dough out on the floured surface with your hands and cut into shapes using small cookie cutters.
