Press Cookies

Found in Grandma's recipe box, I think this is the basic recipe used for so many of her Christmas cookies.  She had a press and I remember changing the end with the various designs.  Even undecorated, these plain cookies are delicious with a simple sweet flavor.  She noted in pencil the amounts halved ... even at that, 2 sticks of butter seems like a lot these days but yet this woman had no health issues and lived a long life so maybe fresh butter isn't as bad as we think.  I love butter so I'm partial to that conclusion!
