Southern Tea Cakes

Ingredients:

½ cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1¾ cup all purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cream butter and sugar together. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.

Mix flour, soda and salt in a small bowl. Add to butter mixture and mix well.

Turn out on a lightly floured surface and roll to a ¼ thick. Cut with a cookie cutter.

Bake 5-7 minutes until puffed and just starting to brown around the edges. (Bake less for chewy and more for crispy.)
