PREPARATION
Preheat oven 325 degrees.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Step 1
Sift the flour and salt together and set aside.
Step 2
Beat the butter until creamy, then add the sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Gradually add the flour mixture on a lower speed or stir in by hand.
Step 4
Stir in 3/4 cup lightly chopped milk chocolate chips.
Step 5
Bring the dough together with your hands knead it a little and form it into a disk.
Step 6
Wrap the disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to roll out, about 30-40 minutes.
If it gets too cold to roll out let it sit out at room temperature for a few minutes.
Step 7
Roll the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut your cookies out with a cookie cutter and place on the cookie sheets.
Step 8
Chill the cookies on the sheets in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
Step 9
Place sheets in the oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. Be sure to turn the sheet pans around half way through baking to ensure even baking.
When the cookies are done the edges of the cookies will be slightly golden in color.
Step 10
Cool the cookies on the cookie sheet.
Store the cookies in a jar or if you wish they will freeze very well.
