Light and flakey,this recipe is a cookie baking staple around my house, with it's minimal ingredients and tasty results. I use it for cut-out Christmas cookies in the winter, and add orange or lemon zest for a cool summer alternative.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients until dough comes together (will seem very crumbly at first).
2. Roll out and cut into shapes.
3. Bake on a greased pan at 350° until edges are lightly browned (watch carefully, as these cook VERY FAST).
4. Frost if desired.
