ingredients

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white or brown sugar

directions

3
Form dough into a ball or a flat disk and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill for an hour in the fridge.
4
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
5
Sprinkle a little flour on your counter and place dough on it. Roll or pat it out dough to form a circle of uniform thickness, about 1/2" thick.
6
Place circle on baking sheet and bake 12-15 minutes. Bread should be lightly browned and crumbly to the touch.
7
Slice round into equal wedges, between 12 and 18 pieces. Allow pieces to cool and store in an airtight container for 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
