Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
• Roll the dough into 1/4-inch thick sheets and cut into desired cookie shapes.
• Place cookies on prepared baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
• Allow cookies to cool completely on wire racks before decorating.
• Using black icing, pipe concentric circles on each cookie and then drag a toothpick from the center outward to create a spiderweb effect.
