Preparation


Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well.


Cream butter and sugar together, on medium speed of electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.


Stir flour mixture into creamed mixture. Mix well. Form dough into three balls. Wrap each in plastic wrap and chill about 2 hours for easy handling.


Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.


Roll dough out, one ball at a time, on a floured surface to 1/4" (0.4cm) thickness. Cut with floured cookie cutters. Place on baking sheets. Sprinkle on coloured sugar before baking or leave plain and decorate later.


Bake in preheated oven for 7 - 10 minutes or until light golden. Baking time will depend on shape of cookies. Cool on sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack. Decorate with icing and candies when completely cooled.
