Ingredients | Instructions |
| Mix together the butter and granulated sugar, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until just combined. Add the vanilla. In another bowl, sift together the flour and salt; add it to the butter and sugar. Mix until the dough starts to come together. Dump on a floured board and shape into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350. Roll the dough 1/2 inch thick and cut with a 3-inch round fluted cutter. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges begin to brown. Let cool to room temperature. Combine the powdered sugar with about 2 tablespoons of water to make a very thin glaze. Spoon onto the cookies and sprinkle with a few dragees before the glaze dries. |
