Preparation

Step 1

In medium mixing bowl, stir together flour and sugar. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs and starts to cling. Form into a ball; knead in bowl about 1 minute or until smooth.

On a lightly floured surface, roll dought to 1/4 inch thickness. Using desired cutters or a knife, cut into shapes that are 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter, rerolling and cutting trimmings as necessary. If desired, brush cut-outs with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Arrange cutouts on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake at 325 degrees 14 to 16 minutes or until bottoms just start to brown; remove from baking sheet. Cool on a wire rack.
