Instructions: Heat oven to 400F. In large mixer bowl combine sugar, butter, egg, salt, and vanilla. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture is light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed, 2 to 3 minutes. If douch is too soft, cover and refrigerate until firm enough to form cookies, 30 to 45 minutes. Place dough in cookie press.
