Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out cookies with Halloween-themed cookie cutters.
• Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
• Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• While cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Divide the frosting into separate bowls and tint each bowl with different food colorings.
• Once the cookies are completely cool, decorate with the frosting and sprinkles.
