Cream (beat until soft and creamy)

  • ½ LB unsalted butter
  • 1½ Cup sugar

Add and beat until creamy

  • 1 C Karo brown syrup (NOT molasses)

Prepare and add the following

Blend the following dry ingredients together before mixing into batter:

  • 3½ C flour

May need to add more flour so not so sticky. Refrigerate overnite. Roll out very thin, use cookie cutter shapes. Place slivered almond in middle.

If make heart shaped cookies, before you eat, hold in hand and tap with finger, if it breaks into 3 pieces, it means good luck! Keep practicing:-)
