I received this from a friend and I thought it would be a great segue way into my future posts. I know it applies to many people, myself included.

Need some last-minute gift ideas? Don’t want to fight the crowds at the mall. Well here is an easy recipe for “Classic Butter Cookies”. Just decorate with icing and candies and voilà!, great tasting Christmas cookies you can give as a gift.
Classic Butter Cookies
Cream the butter until softened, then add sugar and salt. Fold in flour and mix to make a stiff dough. Knead gently on a lightly floured board to make the dough smooth.
You may otherwise place flour, salt and sugar in a food processor. Add butter in chunks and pulse to make a crumbly mixture. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead to make a stiff dough.
Wrap dough in plastic wrap or wax paper and chill in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll dough out to a thickness of 3/8 to 1/2 inch. Cut into rectangles or circles. Mark with the tines of a fork. Place cookies two inches apart on baking sheet and place in oven. Immediately reduce heat to 325 F. Bake until lightly browned (25 to 35 minutes). Reduce heat if cookies are browning too quickly.
Cool cookies on a rack, when cool decorate and enjoy.
