Ingredients

Units Scale

Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Form Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  5. Roll and Cut: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Roll out one disc of dough at a time to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters and transfer to prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake and Cool: Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are starting to turn golden. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • These cookies hold their shape well and are perfect for decorating with royal icing or sprinkles.
  • Dough can be made ahead and frozen for up to 3 months.
