Butter Cookies

I love butter cookies...Back in school days i remember having them almost everyday...My favorite ones are danish butter cookies...A box of cookies used to get over so fast...I loved them so much...Iam basically a lover of sweets...i love snacks!!
I have not been baking for sometime before and after my daughter's birth...Now i have started...I love baking..My mother in law tells me that she loves the smell that arises whenever iam baking something!!Have started baking now as my daughter loves cakes and cookies!

Ingredients :

1 cup  unsalted butter


1 cup  sugar

1 egg

1 tsp  vanilla essence

2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt
 
Preparation :
 
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy in a large bowl....I used an electric mixer..If you dont have one..You can do it manually..Make sure it is light and fluffy..Add vanilla essence.. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder.Add the flour into butter mixture.. Mix well till the flour is incorporated in to the butter mixture and blended..Shape dough into small balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.Keep the cookies one inch apart from each other...Bake butter cookies at over 300° for 20 minutes, or until just lightly browned.Butter cookies are ready to be eaten once they have cooled down..Store in an air tight container..These make a great snack!!I just love them..
