Scotch Shortbread
- 1/2 pound margarin
- 1/2 C confectioner's sugar
- 2 C flour
- 1/4 salt
|
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, cream margarine and gradually add sugar. Stir in imitation butter flavor. Work in the flour 1/4 cup at a time. On a floured board knead the dough for at least 10 minutes, using small amounts of flour to keep it from sticking. Pat and roll the dough until it is 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough into rectangles and transfer the pieces to an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch between them. Prick each piece 2 or 3 times with a fork. Bake for 30 minutes or until the cookies become slightly golden brown around the edges. Allow to cool. |
