Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet (s) with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
1 cup butter, 1 ¼ cup sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon milk
In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, about a third at a time, mixing after each addition. When the last of the flour mixture has been added to the bowl, mix the dough until just combined.
3 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt
Prepare your work surface by covering with a piece of parchment paper and sprinkling with flour.
Roll out about a third of the dough at a time. When rolling, coat your rolling pin with flour and add more flour to the work surface as needed to prevent sticking. Roll the dough out to about ¼ inch thickness.
Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut shapes.
Place the cut-out cookies on the parchment-lined cookie sheet, about an inch or so apart.
Bake in a 375F oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating.

This recipe will make approximately 3 dozen cookies, but this of course will vary by the size of the cookies you choose to make.
