 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Form dough into a ball; chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour before rolling out. Roll out 1/8" thickness on floured board; cut into shapes using holiday cookie cutters (in the shape of menorahs, dreidels or Jewish stars). Bake at 375ºF.  for 8-10 minutes on ungreased cookie sheets; let cool on wire rack. Can be decorated with blue icing, if desired. Makes 4 dozen.
