Ingredients

1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla
3 cup sifted flour

Instructions

Cream butter until soft in medium sized bowl; gradually add sugar, creaming after each addition until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Sift in flour and salt. Blend well to form a stiff dough. Chill 2 or 3 hours until firm enough to roll easily.
Roll out dough in small amounts, keeping remaining dough refrigerated. Bake at 375 degrees for 7-10 minutes or until edges of cookies turn golden brown.
