Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating well at medium
speed of an electric mixer. Add egg and vanilla; beat
well. Combine 2-1/4 cups flour, soda, and salt; add to
creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, mixing well.
Add remaining 1/4 cup flour if dough seems very sticky.
Cover and chill 8 hours.

remainder in refrigerator. Place stockinette cover on
rolling pin; flour well. Roll dough to 1/16-inch thickness
on a lightly floured pastry cloth. Cut with a 3-inch round
cutter, and carefully place on lightly greased cookie
sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes or just
until cookies begin to brown around edges. Cool slightly
on cookie sheets, and sprinkle with superfine sugar. Remove
cookies to wire racks, and cool completely. Repeat
procedure with remaining dough. Store in airtight
containers. Yield: about 9 dozen.
