These fun cookies are a version of my grandmother's. They originally call for shortening, but in the face of all that is known about trans fats these days, I opted for butter this time. We usually make these cookies pink. These are the best go-with for ice cream and I think chocolate chip mint or pistachio would be great for St. Pat's.

1/4 t salt

- Mix butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Blend flour and salt and add alternately to butter mixture with milk and extract (add food coloring to milk so it gets into dough evenly).
