Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 -2 1/4 cups sifted flour
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar (for dusting)

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Lightly rub a stick of butter over a large cookie sheet.
  3. Cream butter, sugar, vanilla and salt together.
  4. Making sure flour is sifted, add the first 2 cups slowly. Another 1/4 cup may be added if the weather is damp or the dough seems extremely soft. This is supposed to be a very soft dough, so use extra flour sparingly.
  5. Using a heaping teaspoonful, form into a ball. Take care not to roll them too much in your hands, so the dough doesn't become tough .
  6. Place cookies about two inches apart on the sheet. Flatten slightly with a glass dipped in powdered sugar.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or just until the edges begin to brown.
  8. Yield depends on how heaping your teaspoons are!
