2 1/2 cups flour

To form the cookies, break off small pieces and roll into 1 inch balls. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten each ball with a wet drinking glass or your hand. Can also roll them: Chill dough at least 2 hours, until firm, then roll dough to 1/4-1/2" thickness, and cut with any shape cookie cutter. Carefully transfer to a baking sheet with a spatula. Bake until golden brown, about 14-16 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes and then remove to a rack. Cool the cookie sheet between batches. Makes 3-4 dozen.
