5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
7. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Gently flatten each cookie ball with the bottom of a glass that has been lightly dipped in flour to prevent sticking.
9. If desired, decorate the cookies with festive sprinkles or colored sugar before baking.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
11. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
