If you don't have a shamrock cookie cutter, make rounds but be sure to use green sprinkles or gel for decorating. INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION:Using a mixer, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, mixing well. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter and sugar until dough forms.
Don't worry if the dough seems a little crumbly at first; it will come together. Wrap dough in plastic and chill for two hours in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 1/4-inch or 1/8-inch thickness. Use holiday cookie cutters dipped in flour to make cutouts. Gather scraps and re-roll until all the dough is used. Place cookies 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. If you're using sugar sprinkles, decorate the cookies before baking. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Transfer to wire rack after 1 minute to cool. Makes 30 cookies, depending on size of cookie cutters used.
