1/2 lb. butter

1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. salt

Preparation

Cream shortening with sugar.

Drop by one-half teaspoonful on greased cookie sheet with plenty of room because they spread.
Bake about 6 minutes at 375\u00b0.
Let cool about 1 minute on sheet.
Then remove quickly and roll in powdered sugar.
Very fragile and best to bake only one sheet at a time.
Dough can be refrigerated or frozen and used in parts.
