1 cup Butter; softened
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 1/2 cup flour

Place these on an ungreased baking sheet and flatten a little if you like. These will not raise in size or "melt". Bake at 350°F for 13 minutes. Immediately while hot, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cool on a wire rack. When cooled, again sprinkle with powdered sugar.
