Sugar Cookies

Here is a tasty little recipe we found at: http://www.delish.com/recipefinder/basic-sugar-cookie-rbk1207
  • 1 1/2 cup(s) (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup(s) sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
  • 4 1/2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt

Directions
  1. In a bowl, with mixer on medium, beat butter and sugar until fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla extract. On low, beat in flour and salt.
  2. Divide dough in half; shape each half into a 1/2-inch-thick disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; chill until firm.
  3. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  4. On floured surface, roll dough 1/8-inch thick; cut into shapes. Transfer to ungreased baking sheet(s). Bake until lightly golden around the edges, 10 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on sheets; transfer to racks to cool. Decorate as desired; store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks, or freeze, undecorated, up to 3 months.
