Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Stir in vanilla.
  2. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed until blended.
  3. Roll dough to 1/2 thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut with a 2 1/2 round cutter or Christmas cookie cutter. Place 2 apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  4. Bake at 275° for 50 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
  5. Note: Unbleached flour is the best-quality, freshest flour for baking and is particularly good in simple recipes like shortbread. Other kinds of all-purpose flour work fine in this recipe, too.
