Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup sugar

1 cup butter or margarine softened

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/4 cup flour

1 tsp baking soda

Directions

In a large bowl, mix sugar and butter.  Beat in egg and vanilla until light and fluffy.  Mix in flour and baking soda.  Divide dough into halves.  Shape half into roll about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.  Wrap each half in wax paper and refrigerate for approximately an hour until chilled.

Preheat oven to 375F.  Unwrap rolls and cut into 1/4 inch slices.  Sprinkle each with a pinch of sugar.  Place on ungreased pan and bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown around edges.  Cool on wire rack.  Store in air tight container once the cookies have cooled.
