Butter Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Steps

1. Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until well combined, then stir in vanilla. Combine flour and salt in a separate bowl; add to butter mixture and mix to form a dough. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Chill 2 cookie sheets in the refrigerator.
3. Transfer chilled dough to a cookie press; press out onto the chilled cookie sheets.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
