Since 1985, I have had a very basic recipe for a a simple butter cookie. I recently needed to bake a batch of plan cookies to give to someone, so I decided after 36 years to try the butter cookie recipe for the first time. It was a homerun winning recipe. If you like a plain, small butter cookie you might like this cookie.

Drop Butter Cookie
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups sifted flour (White Lily All Purpose Flour)
