Golden Butter Cookies

1 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
2 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt

Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla and blend well. Add egg yolk and mix thoroughly. Gradually add flour and salt; stir until dough is smooth. Place dough into a cookie press and form cookies on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400-degrees for 5 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. When cookies are cool, decorate with icing, if desired. Makes 2 to 3 dozen.
