"No roll! came from a local christmas cookie contest in 1995 i make year around in handling the dough... it gets a little sticky... i add a little more flour as for the amount of salt... i use 1/2 tsp... the butter seems to have enough i remove from oven when the edges start to brown"

The description is a little hard to interpret but....perfect, if you don't want to use a cutter. I made little balls and pressed them with my hand. Then my preschooler put m&m's on them and baked for 15-20 min. Yummy!!!
