1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups regular all-purpose flour

In a mixing bowl cream butter; gradually add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extracts. Sift together flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Divide dough for ease in handling. Between two pieces of waxed paper roll each half into a rectangle about 14 x 10 inches. Place red dough on top of light. Roll lightly. Starting from longer side, roll up tightly. Chill. Cut into about 1/8-inch slices; place on baking sheet. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven 7-10 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool.
Yield: approximately 5 1/2 dozen
