Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream the 1 cup softened butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Beat in the 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the 2.5 cups flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Step 4
On a floured surface, roll the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into Halloween shapes with cookie cutters.
Step 5
Place cookies on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
