I love cookies. yours is a good one. I'll try it. Butter Cookies INGREDIENTS 1 cup butter 1 cup white sugar 1 egg 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons vanilla extract DIRECTIONS In a large bowl, cream together the butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Cover dough, and chill for at least one hour. Chill cookie sheets. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press dough out onto ungreased, chilled cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly golden at the edges. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

This sounds so easy to make and yet so yummy. It sounds like it would be jsut a bit tart so it would great for a light evening treat when watching TV. wonder how it got its name. That is odd for a cookie to be called Desert Rose.
