Slowly mix in half of the flour, all of the baking powder, and salt until moistened. Then mix in the remainder of the flour, beating just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
Roll the dough on the floured surface or use a baking mat. Roll to about ¼ “ thick or enough to cut 6-8 shapes. Gather the dough back into a ball and roll it out again, cutting more cookies until you have used all of the dough.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
