3/4 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 cup sugar

1 Tbsp Vain Ginger Vanilla Extract

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp. salt

Demerara sugar for dusting

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In mixer, cream butter and sugar until light colored. Add vanilla. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt, then add to butter mixture. Mix on low until dough comes together. On a floured surface, shape into a disk. Chill for 30 minutes.
