Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Gradually add the sifted flour and salt; mix on low speed until combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated. The dough should be crumbly yet hold together when pressed.
Form small balls of dough (about one inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Allow cooling on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
