Melt In Your Mouth Cookies

Ingredients:
1/2 pound salted butter
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
1 tablespoon brewed espresso coffee
3 heaping tablespoons confectioner's sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound confectioners' sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In the bowl of a large mixer cream the butter until fluffy,
then add vanilla and the espresso.
In a large bowl sift the confectioner's sugar
then add to it the butter mixture in the mixer and mix well.
In the same bowl used to sift the sugar, add flour and salt and sift.
Add them to the mixer that contains the cream, butter mixture.
Turn the mixture out on a floured board and knead a bit.
Place mixture in a large glass bowl and put in refrigerator
for 1/2 hour to make it easier to roll.
Take bowl out of the refrigerator and with your hands
pick up walnut sized balls of dough,
roll them in your hands and place them in an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes or until cookies turn a light golden brown.
When all of the cookies have been baked
place them on a cooling rack overnight.
If you are pressed for time 5 hours will do.
