Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
sprinkles or decorations, as desired
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
food coloring in various shades
3 cups all-purpose flour
Two large eggs

Time Needed

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Instructions

Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Divide the dough into several pieces and color each one with food coloring.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch (6 mm) on a floured surface.
Cut out desired shapes with cookie cutters and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Decorate the cookies as desired with sprinkles or other decorations.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
