Brown Sugar Shortbread Cookies

You have to refrigerate the dough overnight, 
but these eggless cookies are worth the wait!

1 cup butter, softened 
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar 
1 tsp. vanilla extract 
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

In large mixer bowl, cream butter and sugar.
 Add vanilla then gradually beat in flour. 
Blend thoroughly. 
Roll dough into a log and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. 
Refrigerate overnight. 

Preheat oven to 300F. 
Roll out dough to 1/4" thick on lightly floured board. 
Cut with cookie cutters or cut into squares. 
Place on lightly greased cookie sheet. 

Bake 35-40 minutes until firm to light-touch.
