Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For decorating: Royal icing, sprinkles, edible glitter

Instructions

  1. Cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Notes

  • Dough can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
