Spritz Butter Cookies Recipe

1 C. butter softened (if you substitute the butter in these they will not be as good)
1 C. sugar
2 t. vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 C. flour
1/4 t. salt
colored sugar or sprinkles (optional)

Cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla. Add the eggs and beat well. Stir in the flour and salt until blended.

Bake at 375°F. for 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
