0 Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
1 In a separate bowl, using electric beaters or in a standing mixer, cream the butter and sugar for 3 minutes on medium to high speed until light and fluffy.
3 Add the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture and beat until incorporated.
4 Turn the speed to low and slowly add the flour mixture until the dough comes together.
5 Place the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, parchment paper or wax paper and divide into two flattened round shaped discs.
6 Wrap the dough discs separately and chill in the refrigerator until firm, at least thirty minutes to overnight.
7 Once chilled, preheat oven to 350°F.
8 Let dough sit for about 10 minutes or until soft enough to roll out.
9 Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface until 1/4 thick and even.
10 Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. I like to start at one end of the dough placing the cookie cutters close together.
11 Using a spatula, transfer the cut-outs onto a cookie sheet (preferably a parchment paper or silpat-lined cookie sheet).
12 Bake for 8-10 minutes rotating halfway through until edges turn golden.
13 Cool cookies on a rack.
