Cream butter with sugar until light and fluffy.  Add egg and vanilla 
extract.  Sift the flour with the salt and baking powder and add to the 
creamed mixture.  Chill thoroughly. 

 When dough has chilled firm, shape into two logs about 1 1/2" each in 
diameter. Wrap logs tightly in plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator 
until desired.  

TO BAKE:  Slice dough thinly (about 1/8 ") and place one inch apart on 
lightly greased baking sheet.  Sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar or 
the decoration of your choice.    Bake in a 350* oven for 10-12 min.  
Recipe yields 4-5 dozen small cookies.  
Dough will remain fresh for about 3 weeks.
