ISO: Fannie Farmer Short Bread

Misc.
I have lost my Fannie Farmer Cookbook, I do not remember what year it was published, but I have searched and searched for the Short Bread Cookie recipie for years, it is so delicious, just the best ever! I do remember that cake flour is used, I think it went:

2 sticks butter (softened)
2 cups cake flour
2 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix together all ingredients and divide in half, put one half in a 9" round cake pan and press down, scalloping the edges, do the same with the other half then bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes, the baking part is really a guess so watch it closely in the oven.

Remove from oven and while it is still warm, cut each pan into 8 slices but don't remove from pan until cool.

I am going to try this tonight and I will come back and post how it went.
