Lemon Thyme Cookies

Makes: 4 dozen

• 1 c. butter or margarine, softened
• 1-1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2-1/2 c. unbleached flour
• 1 t. cream of tartar
• 1/2 t. salt
• 5 T. fresh lemon thyme, finely chopped, or 3 T. dried lemon thyme

Cream butter and sugar; add eggs and mix well. Sift together flour, cream of tartar, and salt. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until well blended; add in thyme. Chill overnight or until firm enough to roll.
