As eaten October 2012 Florida Vacation.
- 1/2 lb. unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 c. confectioners sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Cream all that stuff ^, then add 2 cups of all purpose flour. Stir till it's a stiff dough.
For vanilla bean flavor I added seeds of 1 vanilla pod to the mix, and for lemon I removed the vanilla extract and replaced it with lemon juice as well as adding roughly a teaspoon of dried lemon zest.
Spoon this out onto wax paper and shape it into a log about 16-18" long. Chill it in the fridge 'til it's firm, about 30 minutes. Slice it about 1/2" thin and bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes, or until the edges start to become golden brown. Cool them in the pan for about 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Don't consume/touch 'til fully cooled or they may crumble on you.
Logically, this would make roughly 30-something cookies but I've never counted.
