4 cups flour

1. Combine flour and sugar in a large bowl.
2. Cut in the butter and work with a pastry blender.
3. When it the chunks are on average the size of peas combine with your hands.
4. Cool for 30 minutes in the fridge if possible.
5. After cooling, preheat oven to 350, roll and cut into cookies.
6. Bake until light brown ~ 10 minutes
