Vanilla Butter Cookies

I have been brewing up some homemade vanilla extract and wanted to bake something that would highlight the vanilla. I did a quick search online and found this gem of a recipe. I don't know if I ate more of the dough or the actual baked cookies, both were sinfully delicious!

Only 30 minutes from start to finish!
