Directions

  1. Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Blend egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture.

  2. Stir flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl, mix into the butter mixture until just incorporated. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Remove from refrigerator and let the dough warm to room temperature.

  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. Roll dough out onto a flat surface to about 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut dough into shapes with cookie cutters, arrange onto baking sheets.

  5. Bake cookies until firm in the center, but not yet browning, 8 to 12 minutes. Let cool briefly on baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Recipe Yield

12 large cookies

Recipe Note

This recipe always comes out perfect. My toddlers and I make these often. I throw the dough together in the morning and let it sit in the fridge. I take it out at dinner time to let it warm just a bit, and we roll them out and ice them after for dessert. You use different flavors of extract and add spices. For fall, I use maple extract and add cinnamon and nutmeg. I use my mixer to prepare dough and it comes together super easy.
