Fast And Easy Shortbread

---

This recipe came from my grandad's girlfriend kay. i've had this recipe for many years now, and i make it every year. Kay's original recipe was to roll cherries in the dough then frost after baking. to much work for me, i wanted simple and fast. So here it is no setting time or sifting. Usually i press with a cookie press but i have decorated them with slices of red and green cherries to look like holly. if i make them for home i use 1/8 cup but if i put them on a cookie tray for a party i make them smaller 1 tablespoon.
