Directions: |
Directions:Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Stir the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl at medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
Reduce the speed to low. Slowly add the flour mixture and beat until the dough is smooth. Shape the dough into 2 flat disks. Wrap the disks in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
Heat the oven to 375°F. Place the disks on a lightly floured surface. Roll each disk to 1/8-inch-thick. Cut the dough using your favorite 2 1/2-inch cookie cutters. Place the cut-outs onto the baking sheets. Decorate with the candies.
Bake for 8 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the baking sheets and cool completely on wire racks. |
