Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • (Optional) Sprinkles for decorating

Instructions

  1. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  8. Cut out snowflake shapes using cookie cutters.
  9. Carefully transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once cooled, decorate with frosting and sprinkles as desired.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter is truly softened for the best creaming results.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added.
  • Chilling the dough is crucial for easy handling and to prevent spreading during baking.
  • Baking time may vary depending on your oven and cookie thickness.
