Let’s make it

Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Step 2
Cream all ingredients except flour together.
Step 3
Add flour and mix sparingly—it should be dry enough to form into balls by hand without sticking.
Step 4
Form into walnut-sized balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Step 5
Flatten with a fork by pressing the tines of the fork across the cookie. Repeat going in the other direction to make a criss-cross pattern.
Step 6
Bake for about 8–10 minutes.
