Place butter in mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer for about 10-15
minutes until butter is white and fluffy. Add 2 types of sugar. Whip again
thoroughly with a spatula; gradually add flour and continue to mix with
spatula until the flour is absorbed and a medium soft dough is formed. Be

more flour if needed. Remove mixture to lightly floured surface and quickly
roll with floured hands into rope shape about 1 1/2 inch diameter. Cut into
