Serving Size: 36

Cooking Time: 180 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Cup butter, softened
• 1 Cup white sugar
• 2 Whole eggs
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 3.75 Cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) baking powder
• 0.25 Cup heavy whipping cream
• 0.5 Cup colored sugar for decoration

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the heavy whipping cream. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, or until firm. This step is crucial for easy rolling and cutting.
5. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut into desired shapes. Place the cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
7. If desired, sprinkle the cookies with colored sugar for decoration.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the bottoms and edges of the cookies are a light golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
