2 c. flour
2 sticks butter (no substitutes)
3/4 c. confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)
1 tsp. vanilla

Preparation: Mix together with your hands.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cream butter and blend in sugar. Gradually add flour. Add vanilla. Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup (this will help your cookies to be uniform in shape), place them in a greased muffin pan.

Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Cool at least 30 minutes before removing from the pan.

You may also use a miniature muffin pan for small cookies.

Variations: You could add currants, cherries, chips, nuts, etc. White or dark chocolate is special when melted over the top of each cookie.

Holiday Cookies (Example: For Easter): I dripped white chocolate and put small jelly beans into the chocolate. They were so cute.

Christmas: Add red and green sprinkles or use your imagination.

Fourth of July: Red, white and blue colored confectioners sugar frosting.

Yield: Large muffin pan, approximately 12. Small muffin pan, approximately 18. Enjoy!
