Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus extra)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream together soft butter and powdered sugar until fluffy and smooth. Mix in flour, salt, and vanilla until well blended. (You may need to knead the dough with your hands.)
  • Pinch off about 1-inch sized balls of dough, then roll out between your hands into long finger-shaped pieces. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees until done but not browned. Remove from tray and let cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, roll in powdered sugar. Makes about 3 dozen cookies. Enjoy!
