From SiggersWiki

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

Mix together the flour and salt in a bowl and set aside. Cream together the butter, vanilla and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour and salt mixture a small amount at a time, kneading into creamed mixture with your hands.

Turn dough onto floured surface and pat or roll out to 1/4" thickness. Cut into squares [or any shape you want] and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325° for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and store in airtight containers. Makes about 3 dozen.
