Instructions
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until the dough comes together.
-
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
-
Place the cut-out cookies onto the prepared baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make the icing. If desired, add food coloring for different colors.
-
Once the cookies are completely cooled, decorate with the icing using a piping bag or a small spoon.
-
Let the icing set before serving or storing.
