Paula Deen ain't got nothing on butter when it comes to these buttery goodness treats!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

You taste the love in every bite of these simple, old-fashioned butter cookies. Or, maybe it's just all the butter. The combination of butter and sweetness along with the delicate and crumbly texture makes these a delightful treat. They pair well with a cup of tea or coffee or enjoy them on their own.
