Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Cream together the butter and sugar with a mixer until smooth.
• Beat in the vanilla extract and egg.
• In another bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder and mix together.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little at a time and continue using the mixer until everything is combined and the mixture is crumbly.
• Wet your hands and knead it by hand. Separate it into 2 or 3 dough balls. Cover the remaining dough balls with plastic wrap while you are rolling. (Dont chill the dough)
• Place the dough on a floured surface, sprinkle a small amount of flour on top to keep the rolling pin from sticking and roll it out until its about ¼ thick.
• Using your favourite cookie cutters, cut out the shapes, then use a metal spatula to transfer the shapes to a parchment lined cookie sheet.
• Bake at 350F for 8 to 10 minutes.
