2 sticks soften butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg at room temperature

3 cups of flour

pinch salt

1 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. pure vanilla extract if you have a vanilla bean even better put the seeds in the cream mixture

Cream butter and sugar until white and fluffy, add egg beat until well incorporated. Add vanilla. 

Sift flour with salt, baking powder and add in intervals to creamed mixture. 

Roll out into floured surface, cut into desired shape with cookie cutters. 

Bake in a 350 degree oven.  Depending on your oven it can take 8-12 minutes.  Check until slightly golden. 

You can decorate with royal icing or just take powder sugar and lots of cinnamon and sift on top.  Either way they are a delicious cookie.
