Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
  • Beat butter and shortening until combined.
  • Add the granulated sugar and beat until light in color and fluffier in texture, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the mixing bowl and stir until combined.
  • Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour or overnight.
  • Remove a portion of the dough from the bowl (leave the rest in the fridge) and roll it out to about 1/8-inch on a flour-covered surface. Dust the top of the dough with flour to prevent the rolling pin from sticking.
  • Cut out shapes and use a spatula to transfer them to a parchment-covered baking sheet. Bake at 400˚F for 5-7 minutes.
  • Cool completely before storing in an airtight container or before decorating.
