Ingredients

2 ¼ cups - all-purpose flour
½ tsp - baking powder
¼ tsp - salt
¾ cup - unsalted butter
⅔ cup - granulated sugar
1 - egg
2 teaspoons - pure vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large bowl using a hand mixer beat the butter and sugar together on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Dough will be soft.
Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours. Once chilled, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
Line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using cookie cutters like in the picture, cut the dough into shapes.
Re-roll the remaining dough and continue cutting until all is used.
Bake for 10-12 mins.
