  1. 1

    Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until the mixture is pale and airy. Fold in the flour and salt, then shape the dough into a smooth cylinder roughly 2 inches across. Wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

  2. 2

    Heat the oven to 400°F (205°C).

  3. 3

    Cut the chilled log into thin rounds, between 1/16 and 1/8 inch thick, and arrange them on ungreased baking sheets.

  4. 4

    Bake until the edges are just lightly golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
