Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)).
In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until smooth.
Add in 1 egg and your flavoring (such as vanilla extract) and cream again until well combined.
Add 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
Mix the ingredients together. Continue mixing until the dough comes together and feels soft, like Play-Doh. If the dough is too dry and not coming together, add a tiny bit of water.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to your desired thickness.
Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them onto a baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, until the cookies puff up but are not yet browned.
Allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan or a wire rack.
Once cooled, frost with royal icing or buttercream as desired.
Notes
The dough should feel like Play-Doh; if it is too sticky, you may need a touch more flour, but if it's too crumbly, add a teaspoon of water at a time. These cookies are designed not to spread, so the shape you cut is the shape you'll get.
