- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature )
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Steps
In a bowl, combine dry ingredients and set aside.
With a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or a hand mixer), combine butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla and mix until well combined and smooth.
Add flour mixture a little bit at a time with the mixer on low until mixed and the flour is incorporated. Continue mixing until the dough holds together, about 5 minutes. (If the dough seems floury or powdery, it need to continue to mix together).
Divide the dough in half and flatten each half into a disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. While the oven is preheating, remove the dough from the fridge.
Sprinkle the worksurface with a bit of powdered sugar or flour so the dough doesn't stick. Roll dough to ¼" thickness and cut into desired shapes.
Place cookies 1-inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until cookies begin to brown on the edges.
Cool completely before decorating with icing.
