1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

2. Heat oven to 350°F. Divide dough into 8 equal parts. On ungreased cookie sheet, roll each part into 8-inch rope; press down until 1 1/2 inches wide.

notes

I like to make these cookies round by using a small ice cream scooper. Place the dough on a cookie sheet make an indent in the center and fill with jam.
