Butter Cookies

These butter cookies are rich, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

Ingredients - Serves 24

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log.
Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chilled dough logs into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Decorate the cookies with sprinkles or colored sugar, if desired.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these delicious butter cookies!
