Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
Unsalted butter - 1/2 cup (softened)
Granulated sugar - 1 cup
Eggs - 2 large

Confectioners' sugar - 2 cups

Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Dough
Start by sifting together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Step 2: Chill the Dough
Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape them into discs. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days).

Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use your favorite Christmas cookie cutters to cut out festive shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the second disc of dough.
Step 4: Bake and Cool
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 them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 5: Make the Frosting
In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the confectioners' sugar and butter until smooth. Gradually add in the milk and vanilla extract until the desired consistency is reached. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring for festive colors.
Step 6: Decorate and Enjoy!
Once the cookies are completely cooled, use the frosting to decorate them as desired. Let the frosting set before serving or packaging them as gifts.
