Directions
Preheat oven to 275⁰F (135⁰C).
Cream butter, add sugar and blend thoroughly. Add vanilla.
Add flour in four portions and mix well after each addition.
Turn out onto flat surface and knead until all cracks have disappeared.
Roll dough into 1/2” thick rectangle and cut cookies with a cookie cutter. Prick each cookie deeply with a fork.
Place on an ungreased pan and bake for 25 minutes or until light brown.
This cookie keeps well at room temperature or can be frozen. Baking a month ahead of time improves the flavour.
