Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– Sprinkles, colored sugar, or icing (optional, for decoration)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix well until fully incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little bit of milk, a teaspoon at a time, until it comes together.
5. Once the dough is ready, divide it in half and shape each portion into a disk. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up the dough.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
7. Remove one dough disk from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. If the dough sticks, you can sprinkle more flour on the surface or rolling pin.
8. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the rolled dough and carefully transfer the shapes to the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
9. If desired, you can sprinkle colored sugar or sprinkles on top of the cookies before baking.
10. Bake the cookies 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 sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Once the cookies are completely cooled, you can decorate them with icing or enjoy them as they are.
