Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large bowl,
beat together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Add the
egg, vanilla, and salt; beat until smooth. Stir in the flour
and knead lightly until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough in half,
then wrap each half in waxed paper to form a cylinder about 1 1/2 inches
in diameter. Refrigerate the dough until firm, about 2 hours.
Cut the dough into 1/4 inch slices and arrange on greased cookie sheets.
Bake for 12-15 minutes.
