Old Fashioned Tea Cakes

1 cup butter
1 3/4 cups white sugar
2 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

    In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until
    smooth.  Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the
    vanilla.  Combine the flour, baking soda, salt; stir into the
    creamed mixture.  Knead dough for a few turns on a floured board
    until smooth.  Cover and refrigerate until firm.  Preheat the
    oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).  On a lightly floured
    surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness.  Cut into
    desired shapes with cookie cutters.  Place cookies 1 1/2 inches
    apart onto cookie sheets.  Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the
    preheated oven.  Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5
    minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
