Southern Living (December 2008)



List of Ingredients



• 2 cups unsalted butter, softened
  
• 4½ cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1¼ cups lightly packed light brown sugar
  
• Pinch of salt
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 275° F.
   Beat all ingredients at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer just until combined.
   
   
2. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and roll to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with a 4¾-inch Christmas tree-shape cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
   
   
3. Bake, in batches, at 275° for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire racks, and cool completely (about 5 minutes).
   
   Makes 16 (4¾-inch) cookies.
