Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) good quality salted butter, room temperature 
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. 
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together softened butter and brown sugar on medium speed until smooth.  
  • Add all-purpose flour and then mix on low speed until fully incorporated and a dough forms.  Do not over mix.
  • Scoop dough out and place on a piece of plastic wrap.  Place another sheet of plastic wrap on top of the dough.  Roll the dough out into a 6 by 8 inch rectangle, 1/2 inch thick.  Use the sides of a ruler to make crisp edges.  
  • Cut the dough with a sharp knife or pizza cutter into (24) 1 by 2 inch rectangles, using the ruler to make even cuts.  
  • Place the rectangles of dough on a baking sheet (all 24 will fit on a half sheet pan) and use a fork to poke holes into the top of the dough.  
  • Bake for 20-23 minutes at 325 degrees.  The edges should just be turning golden brown.  Remove the baked cookies and transfer them to a cooling rack.  
  • Store in an airtight container for 3-5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
