Preparation
Step 1
Beat butter and margarine at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add 1 cup sugar, beating well. Add egg and vanilla, beating well.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until blended. Cover and chill at least 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.
Divide dough in half; roll each portion to 1/8 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough into assorted shapes with floured cookie cutters; place on lightly greased baking sheets. Sprinkle with Colored Sugar.
Bake at 350° for 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on pans 1 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool.
Colored Sugar:
Stir together sugar and food coloring until blended; let dry, making sure there are no lumps.
