| Cream together the butter and 1 cup of the sugar
until just combined. Add the vanilla. In a medium bowl, sift together the
flour and salt. On low speed, add to the butter-sugar mixture. On a floured
surface, roll and shape the dough into an oval. Wrap in plastic and chill for
30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°. Roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a 3-in cookie
cutter. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for
16 minutes, until the edges brown. Cool to room temperature. |
