Snowflake Cookies

Here's the recipe for my favorite cut out cookies to make snowflakes out of.

Shortbread Cookies

* 1/2 cup butter
* 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cup flour
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1 large Tablespoon of chopped fresh or dried rosemary
* 1 teaspoon vanilla

Blend the butter and sugar together until smooth. Add the vanilla, and the rosemary. Then slowly add the flour until the mixture forms a crumbly ball when you knead it.

Roll the mixture out on a floured board until it's about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick, and cut into squares or use a cookie cutter to make shapes. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 1o minutes, or until the top just starts to turn a light golden brown.

Remove the cookies from the baking sheet, and let them cool on a cooling rack.
