  3. On a floured surface, roll out dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Using a 1 1/2 inch round cookie cutter, cut dough into rounds and place 1 1/2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8-12 minutes--until firm to the touch. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Recipe Note

A Welsh friend passed this recipe on to me. Vinegar adds a very faintly sour taste that enhances this cookie.
