"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Directions:
In a large bowl beat butter on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg, milk and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour. Divide dough in half. Cover; chill about 30 minutes or until dough is easy to handle.

Preheat oven to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough, half at a time, until 1/8 to ¼ inch thick. Using 2-1/2 inch cookie cutters, cut dough into desired shapes. Place cutouts 1-inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until edges are very light brown. Transfer to wire racks; cool. If desired frost with Royal icing and/or decorate with decorative candies.
