Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup butter softened, 2 sticks
  • 1 Cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 3 Cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar.
  • Add the egg and the vanilla, mix until well blended.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder then gradually add to the butter mixture and blend well.
  • Form the dough into a smooth ball. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of ⅛ to ¼ inch.
  • Cut out with cookie cutters and place on ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Fill each cookie sheet with cookies of equal size to ensure even baking.
  • Bake for 6 minutes (a bit longer for thicker cookies), but they shouldn’t brown at all. Remove from cookie sheets and cool on wire racks or waxed paper. Decorate as desired when cool.
