I have made this recipe from the usenet cookbook, and found it to
be delicious. You will want to have milk handy when eating!
Be sure to use only unsalted butter in the recipe, and don't grease
the cookie sheets with salted anything, either. Salt will change the
flavor of the recipe significantly.
I did not find this recipe particularly difficult without the aid of
an electric mixer; I used a pastry cutter to cream the butter and
sugar.
