Instructions
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add the eggs and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Put the miser on low and add the flour in batches until the dough comes together.
- Divide the dough in half, then starting with one half roll the dough out on a floured surface until the dough is about 1/4′ thick.
