Cooking instruction summary:

In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, mix butter and sugar on low speed to combine, then increase to medium speed and beat until light and creamy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and mix in the vanilla. On the lowest speed, mix in the flour to combine, then increase the speed to medium and beat until the dough begins to cling to the paddle and no longer looks dry; do not wait for it to form a solid mass.Transfer the dough to a board and use the heel of your hand to bring the dough together. Put the dough on a large piece of plastic wrap and pat into a rectangle to inch thick. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Let the dough soften slightly, so it does not crack or break on the edges when rolling. Roll dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to about inch thick. Using a 2-inch round fluted cookie cutter cut out 30 cookies and transfer to parchment paper lined sheet pan. Trimmings can be pressed together and rerolled once for additional cookies. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the dough to chill before baking.Position the racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 350F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper. Using a small offset spatula, transfer the chilled cookies to the sheet pans, leaving, at least, 1-inch of space between each cookie. Sprinkle the cookies with sugar.Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, switching the position and rotating the sheets halfway through, until crisp and light golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes on the sheet pan to firm the cookies up a bit.Transfer cookies directly to a cooling rack to cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 10 days.

Food Joke

A young woman, who was at her father's funeral, asked her mother, "Mom, how did Dad die?" Her mom replied, "Heart attack." "What was he doing?" the daughter asked. Her mother said, "Well, we were having sex." This enfuriated the daughter, because they were both 80 years old. The daughter said, "You guys are 80 years old! You should have expected something like this! You're way too old to be engaging in this sort of activity!" The mom replied, "Well, you see, years ago, we realized that at noon every day, the church bells rang. So, we decided to work along to that nice, slow rhythm so that your father wouldn't have a heart attack. It worked for years too. That poor guy... he'd still be alive today if that darned Ice Cream truck hadn't come along..."
