1 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating well at medium speed of an electric mixer. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Combine 2 1/4 cups flour, soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, mixing well. Add remaining 1/4 cup flour if dough seems very sticky. Cover and chill 8 hours.
Work with 1/4 of dough at a time; store remainder in refrigerator. Place stockinette cover on rolling pin; flour well. Roll dough to 1/16-inch thickness on a lightly floured pastry cloth. Cut with a 3-inch round cutter, and carefully place on lightly greased cookie sheets.
