Ingredients:

¼ t. salt
½ t. baking powder
1 stick (8 T.) unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 t. vanilla
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling.

Directions:
Sift flour, salt, & baking powder together into a bowl; set aside. Put butter & sugar in the bowl of an mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture. Wrap dough in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour. Preheat oven to 325°F. Let dough stand at room temperature 10 minutes. Generously flour a large sheet of parchment paper. Roll out dough on parchment to a scant ¼ inch thickness, stopping often to run an offset spatula under dough and to dust with flour as necessary. Transfer dough on parchment to freezer, and chill 15 minutes.
Using a 2-3 inch X or O shaped cookie cutter or a template and a knife, quickly cut out shapes from dough. (If dough begins to soften, chill it in freezer for 3 to 5 minutes). Reroll and cut scraps.
Transfer shapes to baking sheets lined with parchment, spacing them 2 inches apart. Chill in freezer 15 minutes. Sprinkle shapes with sanding sugar. Bake until edges are just golden, 15-18 minutes. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks.
