In a large bowl, blend the butter, egg and vanilla extract.


Drop the dough by heaping teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are light brown in color.

Allow to cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to wire racks and cool completely.

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
