1 stick (1/2 cup) cold butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
3/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting

In a large bowl, work together butter and 1/2 cup sugar.

Add flour. Dough will be very crumbly. Pack into small balls (about 1/2 inch thick) and place on am ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 7-10 minutes at 400°F but don't let them turn brown.

While they are baking, pour 3/4 cup powdered sugar into a medium sized bowl to roll the cookies in.

While they are still hot from the oven, roll them in powdered sugar.

The sugar should melt slightly on the cookies to form a glaze. Roll again in sugar when cool, if desired.
