cup
butter
salted or unsalted, softened
3
cups
powdered sugar
2
teaspoons
vanilla
1 Tbsp if you're not using white
3
tablespoons

you can substitute with half and half or milk
Instructions
In a large bowl/your mixer, cream butter and sugar.
Add eggs and vanilla.
Gradually add flour, baking powder and salt, mixing well.
Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400℉. Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper or silpat.
Roll out dough to ¼-⅓" thick. Press your cookie cutter onto the cookie sheets, leaving a half inch or so between each. Peel away your excess dough.
Bake 6-7 minutes and allow to cool.
BUTTERCREAM ICING RECIPE
Whip the butter, gradually adding powdered sugar. Add vanilla and heavy cream and mix until smooth. Allow cookies to cool 10 minutes before frosting.
Notes
Refrigerate the dough for at least an hour before rolling it out.
Refrigerate remaining dough while you’re rolling out dough to keep it as solid as possible.
Let the cookies cool to room temperature before frosting them.
For the mummies, simply use edible eyes and a flat tip for your frosting to create the stripes of wrapping.
For the bats, use black nonpareils for the easiest, cutest look.
