Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract.

Add softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Roll out dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick; cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters or slice into squares.

Place shaped crisps on prepared baking sheets and bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown.

Cool on wire racks and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
