2 1/2 sticks butter
1 heaping tsp. salt
1 egg
1 tsp. baking soda
2 c. sugar
5 c. flour
1/2 c. or more milk

Mix butter, salt, egg, baking soda, sugar and flour. Add only enough milk to get dough into a ball. Try not to add too much milk. Dough can be rolled instantly and does not need to be chilled. Roll and cut with cookie cutters; bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Easy and delicious!
