In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap, pressing into a disk shape for easy rolling later. Place the wrapped dough into a freezer-safe zip-lock bag or airtight container. Label and date the bag.
To freeze: Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using.
To bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them 1 inch apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate as desired or enjoy plain!
