Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
After chilling, roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use your favorite festive cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes.
Place the cutouts onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small amount of space between each cookie. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool before decorating with icing, sprinkles, and other festive toppings.
Now you have a batch of delicious Christmas cookies that are perfect for gift-giving, holiday parties, or just enjoying with a warm cup of cocoa. Happy baking!
