Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

  • Add egg and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.

  • Add flour and baking powder and mix until dough starts to form.

  • Roll out dough with a rolling pin on a floured surface. Roll out to 1/8 inch thickness.

  • Using a star cookie cutter, cut out star shapes, rerolling and cutting scraps.
