What you are going to need:

2 cups of all purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 stick of softened butter

3/4 cup of granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

colored sprinkles

In a separate bowl combine the flour and salt with a wire whisk.  Then in a large bowl cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed.  Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until it is all well mixed.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the flour mixture.  Blend on low speed until combined.  DO NOT OVER MIX!  Roll the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap then refrigerate for an hour. After an hour roll out the ball of dough until it is about 1/4-inch thick.  Cut it into shapes and decorate with sprinkles.  Bake in the oven that has been preheated to 325 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes.  Make sure that when they are done you take them off of the hot cookie sheet immediately and transfer them to a cooling rack.

Hope your cookies come out delicious!
