Ingredients:
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– Optional: Sprinkles, frosting, or icing for decorating

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Once the dough is ready, divide it in half for easier handling. Roll out each portion on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
7. Use your favorite cookie cutters to create shapes from the dough. Place the cutouts onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
8. If desired, decorate the cookies with sprinkles before baking for an extra festive touch.
9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn a light golden brown.
10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once cooled, you can get creative with frosting or icing to add even more charm to your cookie creations.
