Butter Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted or stirred before measuring
  • dash salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • blanched almond halves

DIRECTIONS:

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir dry ingredients into butter mixture; mixing until well blended. Shape dough into small balls.

Place on ungreased cookie sheets; press an almond half into the top of each ball. Bake butter cookies at 300° for 20 minutes, or until just lightly browned. Makes 5 to 6 dozen butter cookies.
