Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- tsp salt
- Demerara sugar
Instructions
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, cream the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla, flour and salt. Shape the dough into two disks, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm enough to roll.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- On a well floured surface, roll the dough out to about ¼ inch thickness.
- Using a 2 inch round cookie cutter, cut as many cookies as possible. Re-roll and cut until all of the dough has been used.
- Place the cookies on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with the Demerara sugar and bake for about 20 minutes or until the cookies just begin to turn a light golden color.
- Cool on wire racks.
