Russian Teacakes

This recipe is from the Betty Crocker cookbook I grew up with. Old family favorite. We always make these for CHRISTmas.

1 cup softened butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar

2 1/4 cup flour
Powdered sugar

1. Mix butter, sugar, salt and vanilla together.

4. Place balls about 1" apart on untreated baking sheet.
