Beat butter, sugar and vanilla in large bowl until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in flour until just blended.

Divide dough in half. Shape each portion into a 1" thick disk. Wrap individually and chill for at least 4 hours or until firm enough to roll.

Heat oven to 325. Use a 1 3/4" stap shaped cookie cutter.

On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out 1 disk at a time (keep other refrigerated) to 3/8" thick. Cut out stars with floured cookie cutter. Place 1" apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
