Shape and Bake Cookies

I found this recipe in a baking book that I borrowed from the library. This is a very simple recipe, but very yummy. The best thing is, that you can keep the dough in the fridge for a few days and just bake a few off each day--great for unexpected visitors or if you just fancy some warm freshly baked cookies!
