Kiddo's Special Butter Cookies

This week, just in time for Try a New Recipe Tuesday, I'm posting kiddo #4's delicious butter cookies. They were really good and a great surprise!  :) (and she offered to type this entire post herself! She's talented AND sweet!)

Cookie dough
3 sticks butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt.

Gradually add the flour; beat until well mixed. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Separate the dough into 4 pieces, then roll out each piece on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut or mold the dough into desired shapes.

Place the shapes on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are light brown.
                                     
(optional frosting)          Vanilla Frosting
                                     3 cups confectioner's sugar
                                     1/3 cup butter, softened
                                     2 teaspoons vanilla
                                     2 tablespoons milk

                              

In a small bowl, combine butter and sugar         , 

                then vanilla, then milk.                                                         

   (ENJOY!)
