Cream butter with confectioner sugar in a large bowl of a stand up mixer.
Add vanilla and salt and mix until well blended. Add flour and mix until
all the flour is incorporated. Don't over do it.
Use a 1 inch ice cream scoop to form balls. Place on lined cookie sheet one inch apart.
With your thumb press down in the center of the ball to form a well. (This can be made ahead and they can be frozen for up to 6 months.)
