Scottish Shortbread

I thought I'd share this recipe.  I'll probably share more later. :)

Scottish Shortbread
  
   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      pound         butter (no substitutes) -- softened
    1      cup           packed brown sugar
    4      cups          all-purpose flour -- -4 1/2 cups
 
 In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar. Add 3-3/4 cups flour;
 mix well. Sprinkle a board with some of the remaining four. Knead for 5
 minutes, adding enough remaining flour to make a soft, non-sticky dough.
 Roll to 1/2″ thickness. Cut into 3"x1″ strips. Place 1″ apart on ungreased
 baking sheets. Prick with a fork. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes or
 until cookies are lightly browned. Yield about 4 dozen


I usually only make half a recipe and that's plenty for the 6 of us.
