   • In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and shortening until smooth.
   • Add the sugar, baking powder, and a dash of salt. Beat until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
   • Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until incorporated.
   • Gradually add the flour to the mixture, beating until a smooth dough forms.

2. Chill the Dough:

   • Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or until it’s easy to handle.

3. Roll and Cut the Cookies:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for conventional baking.
   • On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
   • Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough.
   • Place the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

4. Bake the Cookies:

   • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the bottoms are slightly browned.
   • For a convection oven, bake at 325°F (163°C) for the same amount of time.

5. Cool and Frost:

   • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack or waxed paper.
   • While the cookies are cooling, prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
   • Adjust the consistency of the icing by adding more milk, one teaspoon at a time, if needed.
   • Add a drop of food coloring to the icing for a pop of color.

6. Decorate and Enjoy:

   • Once the cookies are completely cooled, frost them with the prepared icing using a spatula or piping bag.
   • Get creative with your decorations and add sprinkles, edible glitter, or other toppings if desired.
   • Allow the icing to set before serving, then indulge in these delicious homemade sugar cookies!

Tips:

• If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate it for a little longer before rolling it out.
• For softer, chewier cookies, slightly underbake them and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
• To prevent cookies from puffing up too much, gently tap the baking sheet on the counter after removing it from the oven.
• Experiment with different shapes and sizes of cookie cutters to create fun and festive designs.
• These cookies are perfect for any occasion, from holiday gatherings to afternoon snacks. Enjoy them with a glass of milk or a cup of tea for a delightful treat any time of day!
