Yes I use it here a few times a month. If the cookies are to dry and fall
apart add a little milk or butter, and if to wet add flower.

Short bred cookies by Gerry Leary
This is a hands on recipy, but it requires no rolling. I learned it from
my Mother when I was about 5 or 6 years old. The whole thing takes less
then 1/2 ann hour after you make it once or twice.
2 sticks Butter.
2 cups flower any kind. I use whole wheat.
three quarters cup Sugar. I use raw sugar granulated.
A couple of spoon fulls of Vinella. The more the better.
About one quarter tea spoon of salt.
And a pinch of baking sota.
First cream butter in the microwave. I usually give it a couple of 30
second blasts on high.
Mix Sugar, Butter, Vinella, and Baking Soda in a bowl till smooth using a
fork.
Then mix in the flower a little at a time while stirring and mixing with
a fork. When it gets to hard to stir with a fork, add the rest of the
flower and need it with your hands unntil it is all mixed together. The
dough should be only slightly sticky at this point. You should be able
to take your hands off of it and not have much dough come off when you do
this. If it is to sticky add flower by the spoon ful and mix until you
can play with it like slightly stickky clay.
Then heat your oven to 350 degrees and roll with your hands cookies that
are a little smaller then a golf ball. Place them about an inch apart on
a cooky sheet and bake for 22 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove and let sit
for about fifteen minutes before touching. Then spachula them on to a
plate and enjoy.
