 1   cup soft butter
2/3 cup sugar
 3  egg yolks
1   tsp. flavoring (almond or vanilla) or 1/4 cup grated almonds

WORK IN WITH HANDS
2  1/2 cups sifted flour

Bake on ungreased baking sheet.  Makes approx 6 doz. cookies

TEMP:    400 degrees (mod. hot oven)
TIME:     bake 7 to 10 min until set........but not brown
             
Use a dough rich in shortening, such as that for Butter Cookies.
If very warm, chill the dough.  But keep it pliable (it crumbles if too cold.)

Force dough through a cookie press (or pastry tube) in letter S's, rosette's, fluted bars
or other desired shapes.

WEDDING PRESENT IN 1961.
