Lacking in Detail

I like how on the Butter Cookies recipe below, I didn't list oven temperature, cooking time, or just about any other detail. I think because the 3 x 5 card I copied from Ginny Dadasovich's cookbook twenty years ago doesn't have any detail on those particular cookies, most likely because I was copying down a bunch of recipes at once that all had the same basic mixing and cooking instructions. Or I was just being cocky and thought I'd remember the right ones. But that recipe is funny: Just make the damn cookies. You know what a cookie is, right? Just mash it all together and oh, turn on the oven or something and take them out before they burn.
Nice.
