Marge Cookies 2 cups cake flour 1 cup butter 1/2 cup sugar Additional flour for working the dough Sugar for the tops Mix like bread; use lots of flour until dry and the dough cracks. Roll out and use a cookie cutter. Sugar the tops. The card then says, “when you serve them.” Bake at 325°F for 30 minutes; watch them because they burn easily and fast. Store in a tight tin. Marge wrote this for Lil and Harold at Christmas 1971: “No matter how hard I have tried — they never are as good as mother's. Maybe you will have better luck. She never gave out her Short Bread recipe.” She closes with “This is close.” A third image supplied in the numbered set appears to contain a separate untitled tart/pie note rather than part of this shortbread recipe; that scan is preserved separately as shortbread3-unidentified-extra-card.jpg.
