Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.
Baking
  1. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  2. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
