Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla on high speed until light and pale, about 3 minutes.
3. Sift the flour and salt together in a medium bowl, add to the butter mixture and mix on low speed until the dough comes together.
4. Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap it in cling wrap and chill for at least 60 minutes.
5. Roll the chilled dough on a floured surface to ¼ inch (about 6 mm) thick.
6. Cut out cookies with a 3-inch round cutter, re-rolling the scraps as needed.
7. Place the cookies on the tray, stamp them if desired, and sprinkle with a little sugar.
8. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the edges just begin to brown lightly. Let cool completely.
