It doesn’t get much more basic than this – or much better tasting!

¾ cup (1-1/2 sticks) margarine, softened

¼ cup sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla

2 cups flour

Powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cream together margarine and sugar until fluffy.  Beat in vanilla and then flour.  Roll dough to ½-inch thickness.  Use 1-inch round cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for about 20 minutes.  Transfer to wire rack to cool and dust with powdered sugar.
