Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Cream the butter; gradually add the
sugar, beating with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Sift together
the flour and salt. Add to the creamed mixture and stir with a wooden spoon
to thoroughly combine. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured board to
1/4-inch thickness. Cut out with heart-shaped cookie cutters. Place on an
ungreased or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with red sugar
crystals, if desired. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Store in airtight containers with waxed paper between the layers of
cookies. Makes 3 to 4 dozen. Penny Halsey (ATBN65B).
