Delicious Vanilla Cookie Recipe!

I found this recipe in the Martha Stewart December 2010 magazine. This recipe has 30 different variations but this specific recipe is for Vanilla cut out cookies. -Yes the cookies are in christmas shapes because I wanted smaller cookies and my other cookie cutters were too big.

Combine 3 cups of flour and 1/8 tsp of salt. Toss that around and set aside. Then in a larger bowl cream together 2 sticks of softened butter and 1 cup of sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 egg and 2 tsp of vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour miture to the butter mixture until a dough forms. Knead it until it comes together. Then divide the dough into two equal and shape each one into a disk shape. Cover them in plastic wrap and refrigerate them until easier to handle (about 45 minutes).

Roll the dough out and cut into shapes. Bake at 350 f on a cookie sheet until crisp and just a bit browned.
