Austrian Butter Cookies

Directions

Sift the flour and sugar together. Add the chopped nuts. Blend in the butter. Stir with a spoon until a soft dough is formed. Chill for 1 to 2 hours.

Roll the dough out on a floured board to ⅛ inch thickness. Cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter and place rounds on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 375℉ (190℃) F for 7 to 10 min. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Note:

Can be made into a sandwich cookie. Traditional Austrian manner is to spread thinly with jam, cover with a second cookie, then cover the top with chocolate frosting and a pecan or walnut half.
