Preheat the oven to 170°C/ fan oven 150°C, 325°F, Gas Mark 3.
You will need a non-stick baking tray or line a baking tray with non-stick parchment paper.
Beat together the butter and sugar in a large bowl, preferable using an electric mixer, until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. If the mixture looks a little curdled add a spoonful of flour.
Sift together the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Stir into the butter mixture. Work into a dough using floured hands. Turn onto a floured board and knead into a ball.
Divide the dough in two. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Place half the dough on a floured board and dust with a little flour. Roll out to a thickness of a pound coin and cut out the shapes.
Place the shapes slightly apart on a non-stick baking tray and cook for 10-12 minutes or until lightly coloured. Cool on a rack. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Now the fun begins, use a selection of Silver Spoon Cakecraft cake decorations to decorate, try jelly drops, choc chips, fudge chunks, ready to roll icing, sprinkles, food colours, choc chips, jelly drops, designer icing or writing icing - let your creativity shine!
