The dough makes about 50 cookies

500 g [1,1 lb] butter

1 tablespoon of cognac

Approach

[1] Mix flour, sugar, butter cut into in small cubes and the egg into a smooth dough either by hand or kitchen machine. Mix in the cognac towards the end.

[2] Roll the dough into lengths the thickness of your thumb. Press the lengths a little down and cut them into 1.5 cm / 3/5 inch long cookies.
