Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 2 tbsp milk (for frosting)
  • Food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Add egg and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
  2. Gradually mix in all-purpose flour and baking powder until just combined; avoid overmixing to maintain dough softness.
  3. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Roll out chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface. Cut out desired shapes using cookie cutters and place on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  6. For frosting, mix powdered sugar with softened butter and milk until smooth; add food coloring if desired.
  7. Once cookies are cool, spread frosting on half of the cookies and sandwich with the other halves.
