Preparation
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla, until creamy.

- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until well blended, about 1 minute.
- Wrap the dough in waxed paper or plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Tear off small chunks of dough and roll between your hands to form 1½-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets and flatten with the back of a fork. This recipe makes 32 cookies

Ann's Tips and Tricks
Eat all sweet, sugary treats in moderation. A little bit of sweetness can make you feel good, but don’t overdo it! High calorie desserts are best as a treat, never a habit. A serving here counts as two cookies.
