Mix all ingredients together well.  Make balls of dough the size of walnuts, and place them on a greased cookie sheet 3-4" apart.  Flatten with a glass dipped in sugar.  Bake at 325 F for 6-8 minutes.  Or, if you like, refrigerate overnight.  Roll out cold dough for cookie shapes cut with cookie cutters.  If dough is sticky, add flour.
