1 pound butter
1 pound sugar
4 eggs
4 cups pastry flour (or more) Cream butter, add sugar gradually and cream again, then add eggs one by one, work in flour, chill for 2 hours, roll out one-fourth inch thick and cut out in the fancy designs. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with ground almonds mixed with sugar or with colored sugar and tiny silver balls. Or frost later. Bake in a moderate oven for about 15 minutes.

These are cookies in their starkest form, no flavoring but the natural butter and eggs; no leavening but the eggs. You can add vanilla flavoring if you desire, or ground nuts.

While these cookies make excellent simple cut-outs, it is better not to use them for difficult patterns such as Santa Clauses and angels because the dough is too delicate.

2. Fortune Cookies – Fortune cookies have also become popular at many occasions. A simple sweet cookie with a message inside that can be customized for any occasion. The history of the fortune cookie dates back to the 13th and 14th century, when secret messages were placed inside of moon cakes to coordinate an uprising against the Mongols, who were known to have no interest in lotus paste. In the mid 1900′s, Chinese railroad workers exchanged happy messages in biscuits instead of cakes for their moon festivals. The first automated fortune cookie factory was started in 1964.

3. Sugar Cookies – Sugar cookies are also popular and embody the simple sweetness that people often think about when they think about cookies. This cookie is one of the easiest to make and is a great treat at kid’s parties.
