Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Cream the butter and sugar in another bowl. Mix the flour into the butter to form a dough. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle (about 1/4-in thick). Cut into 3 strips, and then each strip into 6 shortbreads. Or cut out into any shapes that you want. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F. oven until lightly brown, about 8-10 minutes.
