Butter Cookies
1 pound butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
Roll dough into 2" log. (Use center cardboard from paper towel roll and saran wrap.) Refrigerate 2 hours. Cut into 1/4" thick slices. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Cool a little on baking sheet, then move to cooling racks. Very good--taste like shortbread cookies.
