Butter Cookies II

          

This is a simple butter cookie that can be used in a cookie press, as a drop cookie or made into a roll and sliced. There is no mystery cookie for a cookie press…any stiff butter type can be used. Just be sure to chill it thoroughly so it keeps its shape while baking.
