YUM!

I made these this morning cuz I didn't have to be to work until 10:00 & I dyed the sugar green for our pre-St. Pat's Day parade week. I always try to get the kids all excited for events or holidays so this week is green week & then we'll finish it off w/the parade. These cookies are delicious & my tummy is kinda pissed off cuz I ate too many of them & probably gained a lb. or 2 cuz you use a whole lot of butter for them!

Shortbread or Short Dough Cookies

1 lb. Butter
1 1/4 C. Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
2 Eggs
1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
6 C. Flour, sifted

Cream all ingredients together & mix well. Roll dough out 1/3 inch thick & cut w/various cutters.

Bake at 375 for 12-15min.

I didn't do the last part. I just rolled them into balls in my hand & slightly flattened them out. First rolling them in Sugar...green sugar. And I cooked mine for 15 so they got that crumbly shortbread consistency.

Hope you try them out!
