Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition.
5. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shaping each into a disk. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

9. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Repeat the rolling, cutting, and baking process with the remaining portion of the dough.
11. Once the cookies have cooled completely, you can decorate them with your favorite icing, sprinkles, or frosting. Let your creativity shine!
