Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400F
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer, then beat in the egg and vanilla.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder.
Step 4
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. (The dough will be very stiff; blend the last cup of flour in by hand if necessary.)
Step 5
Do NOT chill the dough. (I love this)
Step 6
Divide dough into 2 balls.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick.
Step 8
Cut cookies into desired shapes, dipping cookie cutter in flour before each use.
Step 9
Decorate with gel and crystal sprinkle decorations, if desired.
Step 10
Bake on an ungreased baking sheet on the middle rack of your oven for 6 to 10 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned.
Step 11
Cool for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring to a baking grid/cooling rack.
Step 12
You can sprinkle cocoa powder on the cookies if desired (looks good if you're making reindeer-shaped cookies).
Step 13
Cookies may be frozen and stored in a tightly sealed container for up to 2 months.
