Grandma Sillitoe's Greek Cookies

The story goes that a little Mexican lady taught my mother-in-law how to make Greek cookies.  I took a few to her and they passed the Donna test so I guess this is my new Christmas assignment.

1 pound unsalted butter*
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
3 or more cups flour
powdered sugar

Melt button on low heat.  Pour into another bowl and refrigerate for 1 - 2 hours.  Whip butter until creamy.  Put in egg and whip some more, then add vanilla.  Put all dry ingredients in sifter and add to mixture.  Bake 15 - 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Upon removing from the oven immediately drown them in powdered sugar and let them cool.  Gently place them in an airtight container with powdered sugar on the bottom.

* It has to be real butter.  If you use salted butter, skim salt off of the top after melting and before refrigerating.
