Edie's Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

1 2/3 - 1 3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 lb butter
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
jam

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream the butter and sugar. Add vanilla, egg and salt. Then add flour until smooth. Roll a small ball of dough for each cookie, then flatten with the back of a fork (keep a cup of water to dip the fork into to keep the dough from sticking to the fork) so that the cookie is approximately the size of a half-dollar. Once all the cookies are all flattened, drop a small dollop of jam on the center of each cookie. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Watch carefully and if the cookies start to brown, remove the cookies from the oven immediately.
