Step 1
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and gradually add the sugar. Beat in the egg until evenly mixed, then add the vanilla extract and salt.
-
Step 2
Stir the flour into the creamed ingredients, about one third at a time, until evenly blended.
-
Step 3
Divide the dough in half. Flatten each portion into a disk and seal in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight. You could skip this step...it will just take a little more effort to roll the dough out.
-
Step 4
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cover a cookie sheet with foil and spray with Pam. Between two sheets of waxed paper lightly dusted with flour, roll the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Remove the top sheet of waxed paper. This makes for easy clean up.
-
Step 5
Cut out the cookies with a large cookie cutter. Use a spatula to transfer the shapes to the baking sheet, leaving about an inch between the cookies. Remove the center of the cookies with a very small cookie cutter.
-
Step 6
Place a candy in the center of each cookie and bake until the cookies start to turn a light brown around the edges and the candy is melted, about 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to waxed paper covered cooling racks to cool completely.
