Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
Sift together the flour and salt in a separate bowl.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing slowly.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
