Katie'S Shortbread Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Cream butter and sugar together, scraping sides with spatula to get it well-mixed.

3. Add flour and vanilla - you may still need to scrape the sides. (It may not stick together completely, but that's okay!).

4. Roll out dough to 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick, and cut into cookie shapes.

5. Transfer cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet--I recommend putting them on parchment paper.

6. Bake at 350°F for 11-14 minutes, watching so your cookies don't burn!

7. Cool on wire rack, and store in an airtight container when cooled.

8. *** FOR FUN! I melted down some chocolate and dipped the cookies in it--they made delicious and festive Christmas cookies!
