Steps:

• For cookies:.

• Use butter or cooking spray to lightly grease 2" Sandbakkels tins.
• Cream together the butter and sugar.
• Mix in the well-beaten egg followed by 2 cups of flour and 1 teaspoons of flavoring.

• Roll into a ball, press into a tin, and use your thumbs to press the dough out to cover the bottom and sides of the tin in a thin layer (Tip: This dough is forgiving and as pliant as play dough.
