Easter Bunny Sugar Cookies

Directions

1. In a mixer beat the butter, egg and sugar until the butter is light colored and the mixture is creamy; stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour and salt and gradually stir into the butter mixture until a dough is formed. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
2. Cut dough into quarters and roll each between two sheets of wax paper with a roiling pin to about a 13 x 10-inch rectangle. Use Easter cookie cutters to cut shapes then place them about 1 inch apart on parchment lined baking sheets.
3. Bake in a preheated 350F oven just until the edges begin to brown; the cookies should remain pale. Let them cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes then carefully remove them to a cooling rack.
4. Frost as desired.
