Cookie Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Use real vanilla if possible
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder Do not use baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Optional Flavorings

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy and pale.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the mixture, and mix until a dough forms.
Baking
- Divide the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to color.
- Allow cookies to cool before decorating or serving.
Notes
For easier cleanup, line baking sheets with parchment paper. If the dough is too sticky, a brief 15-minute chill could help. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
