DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Make the dough: In a medium bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until well blended. Add vanilla. Reduce speed and gradually add flour and salt and beat until a dough forms. Divide the dough in half. Between 2 sheets of floured parchment paper, roll one half of the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutter and repeat with remaining half of dough. Reroll dough scraps and cut more cookies.
2. Bake and cool the cookies: Place cutouts 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake just until golden brown -- 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for 2 weeks until ready to decorate. Decorating instructions are explained in the recipe for Royal Icing.
