Butter Cookies

Taken from Everyday Food (link includes more ways to use this recipe)

1 cup (2 sticks) butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
2 1/4 c flour

Cream butter and sugar and add vanilla. Add egg and beat well. Mix in flour until just combined. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Roll out and cut with cookie cutters or drop by spoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet. (We used mini cookie cutters.) Thinner cookies will be crisp and thicker cookies will be soft when baked. Bake at 350 °F for 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
