BUTTER
COOKIES
(Yield: 6 dozen)
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
½ cup sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups self-rising flour
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla; beat until well blended. Add flour; beat until
well blended. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 425°. Lightly spray cookie sheets with
non-stick vegetable spray.
Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll out one piece of dough
to 1/8-inch thickness (keep remaining dough in refrigerator). With
a 2½-inch cookie cutter, cut dough into rounds. Place, 1-inch
apart, on prepared cookie sheets.
Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from cookie
sheets; cool completely on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough.
