Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat well until everything is combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each portion into a disk. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Once the dough has chilled, flour a clean surface and roll out one disk of dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
-
Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each cookie.
-
Gather the scraps of dough, reroll, and cut out more shapes until all the dough is used.
-
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cookies are completely cooled, you can decorate them with royal icing, sprinkles, or any other decorations you prefer.
