Preparation
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (250 ml) sugar, the butter, egg, whipping cream and vanilla. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add flour and baking powder. Beat at low speed until soft dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill 1 to 2 hours or until firm.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. On floured surface, roll dough to 1/4" (5 mm) thickness. Using 3" (8 cm) cookie cutters, cut desired shapes into dough. Place shapes 2" (5 cm) apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle shapes with sugar. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes, or until edges are light golden brown. Prepare frosting. Decorate cookies as desired. Let dry completely before storing.
