Ingredients
- 3/4 & 3 Tablespoons Cup Margarine (softened)
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 2 Cups Flour
Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 350.
In a large bowl, stir Margarine and Sugar together until well mixed. I used a pastry hand blender
I think it worked perfectly.
Stir in Flour with a large spoon, then use your hands to make it into a large ball. Really work it. If it's too crumbly, use the hand blender to work in 1-2 more Tablespoons of Margarine.
1 : Roll Dough on a lightly-floured surface. You'll want to make sure it doesn't get any thinner than a 1/2 inch. Then, use a cookie cutter to cut out your cookies.
or
2 : Get some cookie cutters that are at least an inch thick/tall. Take some Shortbread Dough and fill in the cutters, making sure you get in the corners and the cookie is a 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick. Then, gently push them out. You're forming little biscuits. I would recommend #2.
Either way you do it, put them on a cookie sheet covered in foil and bake them for 10-15 minutes. You just want them to be a little golden. Immediately put them on a wire rack to cool. Use a spatula, and be careful, because they're flaky and crumbly, and also are kind of soft, and will dent.
