Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into desired shapes, and transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If desired, decorate the cookies with frosting or sprinkles before serving. Enjoy your delicious sugar cookies!
