Инструкции
- Preparation Time: 25 min
- Cooking Time: 20 to 25 min
- Cream butter and sugar in large mixer bowl till light and fluffy. Beat in flour and salt. Knead the dough briefly till smooth.
- If dough is too sticky, add in a bit more flour. (Dough can be refrigerated up to several days; soften slightly before shaping cookies.)
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Have ungreased baking sheets ready.
- Pat half of the dough out on lightly floured surface to 1/2 -inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Place cookies 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake till light brown on edges, 20 to 25 min. Cold on wire racks.
- Note: The sheep cookie cutter used by Koenig is a Hallmark cutter which is no longer available. A sheep pattern can be made out of cardboard and placed over dough; cut out the shape with a small knife.
- Third prize went to Betty J. Koenig, of Hammond, Ind., for her recipe for shortbread cookies in the shape of sheep. Betty uses a sheep cookie cutter to make these cookies. She suggests using your fingertips to dimple the dough to resemble their wooly coats. If you like, a small piece of chocolate can be used for eyes after baking.
