   Recipe by: Thelma Bischoff
   Sift flour and sugar together into a mixing bowl.  Add butter and work it
   in
   with tips of fingers or a pastry blender.  Combine egg, milk and vanilla
   and
   stir into flour mixture.  Mix well to form a dough.  Shape into 1/2 inch
   balls.  If dough seems too soft, refrigerate until the desired consistency
   is
   reached before shaping.  Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie
   sheet.  Flatten balls to 1/16 inch thickness using the bottom of a glass
   covered with a damp cloth.  Bake in a 400 deg. oven for 6-8 minutes or
   until
   slightly browned around the edges.  Do not bake too brown.  Remove
   immediately to a wire rack to cool.  Store in a tightly covered
   containter.
