Sift flour, soda and salt together.
Mix butter and egg together.
Add sugars and dry ingredients,
then vanilla. When well mixed,
divide into 3 balls and roll each into
a long roll in waxed paper.
Allow to harden in refrigerator.
Roll again and place on fresh waxed paper.
They may be frozen and used
as needed, or sliced 1/8" thick.
Decorate with nuts, chocolate bits,
cinnamon sugar or candied ginger
(this is my favorite topping).
Bake at 350F for 10 min.
Yield: 5-6 dozen.
