Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter and sugar. Add the egg and vanilla and blend.

Mix together the dry ingredients and gradually add to the wet.

When chilled, roll out on a floured surface, cut out shapes, and bake on a parchment paper-lined baking tray in a preheated 375°F 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 the surface, you can roll cookies between two pieces of wax paper.
