Active Time : 1 hour
Total Time : 1 hour
Serves : 6-7 dozen
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 1/2 cups butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

In large mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla; using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat until light and fluffy.

Reduce mixer to low; add flour and salt, mixing until well combined, scraping bowl often.
