Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 160 °C (320 °F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
• Add the vanilla extract and mix briefly.
• Sift the flour and salt together, then stir into the butter mixture until a smooth dough forms.
• Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to about 1 cm thickness and cut into desired shapes.
• Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a little apart.
• Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
