PETIT BEURRE -- BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium mixing-bowl, rub together the butter and flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Form a well in the center, and add the sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons cream/crème fraîche into the center.
• Stir with a fork in a circular motion starting from the center until the cream is absorbed, then knead the dough gently until smooth (if the dough is too dry to come together, add a little more cream, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency).
• Divide the dough in two, and gather each half into a slightly flattened ball.
• Cover and chill for an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly grease a baking sheet with butter.
• Working with one ball of dough at a time, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4".
• Use a cookie cutter to cut out cookies, and transfer them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Prick the cookies all over with a fork, and slip into the oven to bake for 12 to 15 minutes,until golden and just slightly browned at the edges.
• Transfer on a rack to cool completely, and keep in an airtight container.
