Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla and blend. Mix together the dry ingredients and gradually add to wet. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.

When chilled, roll out on floured surface, cut out shapes, and bake on parchment paper-lined baking tray in preheated 375 degree oven. Bake 8 to 10 minutes for small cookies, 10 to 12 minutes for larger cookies, or until edges are crisp.

TIP: In lieu of flour, which may show up on surface, you can roll cookies between two pieces of wax paper.
