Preheat oven to
400°. Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg and the VANILLA,
mix until well blended. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and
baking powder then gradually add to the butter mixture and blend well.
Form the dough into a smooth ball. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured
surface to a thickness of 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Cut out with cookie cutters
and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Fill each cookie sheet with cookies
of equal size to ensure even baking. Bake for 6 minutes (a bit longer
for thicker cookies), but they shouldn’t brown at all. Remove from cookie
sheets and cool on wire racks or waxed paper. Decorate as desired when
cool.
Frosting: Mix all of the ingredients together until smooth. Color
with food coloring if desired.
