  2. Mix in the egg until light and fluffy.

  4. Place the dough between two pieces of plastic wrap, flatten and refrigerate the dough for an hour.
  5. Remove dough from fridge and roll out to desired thickness and cut into shape if necessary. (If too cold and it keeps cracking, let it warm up a bit so that it is malleable again).
  6. Bake in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10-15 minutes for cookies or 15-20 minutes for a crust. (If making a crust poke holes with a fork to prevent rising).
  7. Cool completely for desired usage.
