Cookies:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

Directions:
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.

With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; beat until combined. Add vanilla at the very end.

Divide dough in half; flatten into disks. Wrap each in plastic; freeze until firm, at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 325º. Line baking sheets with parchment. Remove one dough disk; let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Spring powdered sugar on counter/board. Roll out 1/8 thick dusting dough with powdered sugar as needed. (If dough gets soft, chill 10 minutes.) Reroll scraps; cut shapes. Repeat with remaining dough.

Bake until edges are golden, 10 to 18 minutes (depending on size). Cool completely on wire racks.

For the icing, sift confectioners sugar into a mixing bowl. Add butter and milk and beat. Add vanilla. Add food coloring if using. Frost the cooled cookies.
