Sugar Cookies

1 C butter (softened)
1/2 C sugar
1/3 C powdered sugar
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2  C flour
pinch of salt

Blend the butter and the sugars, in a large bowl, until smooth.  Add in the egg and vanilla.  Lastly mix in the flour and salt.  Technically, it's thick enough that it doesn't need to be chilled first, however, I do think it's best if you let it chill for at least 30 - 60 min.  Roll out dough 1/4 inch thick, on a lightly floured surface.  Cut out shapes, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake at 330 F for 10-15 min. (depending on the size of your cookies.
