Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly add the rye flour and white flour, mixing until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Knead until the warmth of your hands turn it into a dough. (You may place the mixing bowl in warm water to speed the process.)
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and roll out very thin to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into rounds and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cut a hole slightly off center, using a tiny bottle cap such as a flavoring or food coloring bottle cap as a cutter. Prick each cookie with a fork and bake in a hot oven 400°F. for 5 to 7 minutes or until slightly browned. Makes about 36 tasty crisp cookies.
