Ingredients
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Beat softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until fully combined.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until a smooth dough forms.
Roll the dough on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness and use Halloween-themed cookie cutters.
Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until edges are barely golden.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
Notes
If the dough feels too soft to roll, chill it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before cutting. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
