Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well until fully incorporated.

  3. Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

  4. Divide the dough into two equal parts, shaping each into a disk. Wrap them in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

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

  6. On a lightly floured surface, 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 some space between each cookie.

  7. Bake the cookies for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.

  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  9. Once the cookies are completely cooled, decorate them with your favorite royal icing, sprinkles, or edible glitter.

  10. Let the icing set before serving or storing the cookies in an airtight container.
