Directions:
Beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla, mix until just combined.
Add flour and baking powder in intervals. Dough will seem on the dry side but continue to mix until combined (it will come together when chilled).
Divide the dough into four equal parts, shape into four disks and wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate about an hour or until firm.

Preheat oven to 375º. Lightly grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.

Roll out dough between two pieces of wax paper to about 1/4 inch thickness for crispier cookies and 1/3 inch thick for softer cookies. Cut out in shapes and place on baking sheets. Bake for 7 - 8 minutes or until edges just start to turn golden color. For softer cookies do not allow the cookies to take on color. Remove from oven and let cool. Allow cookie sheet to thoroughly cool before placing uncooked cookies on it.

Decorate cookies with icing or buttercream frosting and sprinkles.
