You'll need:
--------------
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Steps:
----------
- In a separate
bowl whisk the flour with the salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the butter
and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in the
vanilla extract.
- Gently stir in the flour mixture just until incorporated.
Flatten the dough into a disk shape, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill the dough
for at least an hour or until firm.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F with the rack in
the middle of the oven.
- On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough
into a 1/4 inch thick circle. Cut into rounds or
other shapes using a lightly floured cookie
cutter. Place on the prepared baking sheets and place in the refrigerator for
about 15 minutes. This will firm up the dough so the cookies will maintain
their shape when baked.
