Cream the Butter thoroughly, until foamy,

then add the Sugar.

Beat the Eggs thoroughly and add.

Then add the Vanilla.

Sift in 1/3 of the dry ingredients and mix well.

Repeat until all Flour mixture has been used.

If the Batter looks too thin,

it will not hurt to add from 1/2 c. to 1 c. Flour.

Turn Dough on a Floured board and

form into a large ball.

Cut ball into 4 pieces and make 4 thin rolls.

Rap each roll in wax paper and

put into refrigerator for 2 hours.

Roll out on board and cut into cookies.

Bake from 7 to 10 minutes in hot oven

(about 400 F.)
