Making these delicious holiday sugar cookies is as easy as 1, 2, 3! Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg, milk, and vanilla extract together. Slowly pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a little more milk. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Using your favorite cookie cutters, cut out the dough into festive shapes and place them on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting by creaming together the confectioner's sugar and unsalted butter. Gradually add in the milk or heavy cream and vanilla extract, and mix until the frosting is smooth and spreadable. You can also add in some food coloring to create different colors for your cookies.

Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread the frosting on top and let your creativity shine by decorating them with sprinkles, candies, or anything else you desire. Let the frosting set for a few hours before serving, and enjoy these delicious holiday sugar cookies with your loved ones!
