In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will ensure that the cookies have a soft and tender texture.
Next, add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. The egg helps to bind the ingredients together, while the vanilla adds a delicious flavor to the cookies.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough helps to prevent it from spreading too much while baking.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes.
Place the cookies on a lined baking sheet and use food coloring to decorate them as desired. Get creative and have fun with it!
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
And there you have it, delicious Christmas sugar cookies that are sure to be a hit at any holiday gathering. So gather your loved ones and get baking – it's the perfect way to spread some cheer this holiday season!
