Method
Cream butter and sugar in bowl of an electric mixer and beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Add vanilla, baking powder and salt and beat at medium speed until mixed. Add eggs; beat until blended. Add flour and mix at low speed until combined, scraping down bowl once or twice.
Divide dough in half. Using hands, shape dough into discs, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
Preheat oven to 175C. Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment.
Remove 1 disc of dough from refrigerator. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch thickness.
Cut cookies into any shapes you’d like. Bake cookies 12 to 15 minutes. Let cookies cool completely before you start to decorate them.
