Instructions
- 1 Gather all ingredients.
- 2 Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
- 3 Beat white sugar, ¾ cup butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until mixture is smooth. Gradually mix in flour mixture until a dough forms.
- 4 Form dough into a ball; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- 5 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon baking mats.
- 6 Roll dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Arrange cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
- 7 Bake in the preheated oven until edges begin to brown, about 10 minutes, switching racks halfway through. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, 8 to 10 minutes more.
- 8 Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, ¼ cup butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl using an electric mixer until well combined. Slowly beat in confectioners' sugar until icing is smooth.
- 9 Spread icing onto cooled cookies.
