Ingredients
For the cookies:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the frosting:
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Food coloring of your choice
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the dough
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Step 2: Roll out and cut the cookies
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters of your choice to cut out the cookies. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a bit of space between each cookie.
Step 3: Bake the cookies
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4: Make the frosting
In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add more milk. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar. Divide the frosting into separate bowls and add food coloring to achieve your desired colors.
Step 5: Decorate the cookies
Once the cookies have cooled, use a spatula or knife to spread the frosting onto each cookie. You can also use a piping bag to create more intricate designs. Let the frosting set for about 30 minutes before serving or storing.
