'S' Butter Cookies

1/2 pound butter (no substitutes)

1 cup sugar

1 egg

2 cups flour

½

teaspoon vanilla extract

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer, blend butter and sugar until smooth and not grainy. Beat in egg until well combined. Add flour, a little at a time; stir in vanilla.

Spoon dough into a cookie press fitted with a star disk and squeeze "S" shapes, about 21/2 to 3 inches long, onto cookie sheets.

Bake 10-12 minutes or until light tan around edges. Let set on pan for 1 to 2 minutes before removing.

Makes 3 dozen.
