Cream butter, gradually mix in sugar; add eggs and vanilla. Sift
together flour, baking soda, and salt; add to above mixture. Mix until
all ingredients are well blended and dough is in a ball form.
Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. On a well-floured board, roll out
dough to about 1/4“ thick. Cut out cookies with cutters, place on a
cookie sheet. Bake at 375°F for 10-15 minutes. Remove cookies to a
wire rack for cooling.
Helpful hints-
• When rolling the dough out, use small amounts of dough at a
time and keep the rest refrigerated.
• Dip cookie cutters in flour then cut out shapes.
• Cookies are done baking when the bottom is light brown.
