DIRECTIONS

Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Using an electric mixer, in a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy 2 to 3 minutes. 

Add egg and vanilla.

Reduce mixer speed to low and add flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. 

Shape the dough into a disk then roll between 2 sheets of parchment paper until ¼-inch thick. Cut out shapes (such as circles, stars and triangles) and use a small offset spatula to transfer to prepared cookie sheets. Reroll scraps and cut out. Chill until firm, at least 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until the cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets.

Once cool, make the icing.

Divide the sugar between 4 bowls shallow (about ½ cup per bowl) and prepare according to package directions. 

Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Working one at a time, dip one side of each cookie (or one half of each cookie)  in one color of glaze. Gently shake off the excess and transfer to a wire rack. Use a fork to drizzle the cookies back and forth with the other colors. To create patterns, drag a toothpick back and forth through the drizzled lines. Let dry completely.
