Butter Cookies

This is a simple butter cookie that can be used in a cookie press, as a drop cookie or made into a roll and sliced. Just be sure to chill it thoroughly so it keeps its shape while baking.

1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
2-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Cream butter, sugar and egg and mix in remaining ingredients. Chill thoroughly and press out onto chilled cookie sheets. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Makes 3 dozen
