Easter Egg Cookies Recipe

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate larger mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Divide the dough into several equal portions, depending on how many colors you want to use.

Add a few drops of food coloring to each portion of dough, and knead until the color is evenly distributed.

Roll out each colored dough portion to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Use Easter egg-shaped cookie cutters to cut out shapes from each colored dough.

Place the cut-out cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Decorate the cookies with sprinkles or colored sugar.

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
