Directions

1. Using a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and airy.
2. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, then mix everything thoroughly until fully incorporated.
3. In a different bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt using a whisk.
4. Slowly pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a cohesive dough appears.
5. Split the dough into separate sections and mix in your chosen food coloring to achieve orange, black, and green batches.
6. On a lightly floured counter, roll the dough out until it reaches a quarter-inch thickness.
7. Use festive cookie cutters to press out your desired spooky shapes from the rolled dough.
8. Arrange the cut cookies on a baking tray that has been lined with parchment paper.
9. Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, watching for the edges to turn a light golden color.
10. Transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack and let them cool down completely.
11. Once cool, use decorating icing and sprinkles to add your favorite Halloween-themed details.
