Let's Get Started

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
5. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
7. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
8. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.
9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
