Method
In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.
Beat in the egg and vanilla.
In a small bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking powder.
Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture; mix well.
Divide dough in half.
Flatten halves into discs.
Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze 20 minutes or longer.
Remove from freezer and let stand 5 - 10 minutes.
Place one disk on a lightly floured surface, roll 1/8 inch thick.
Cut with your favorite cookie cutter shapes.
Place on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake at 325F for 12-14 minutes.
Allow to cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet and then remove to cookie racks.
In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and lemon juice, adding only enough glaze to form a slow sticky stream when you dip into the glaze and let it flow back into the bowl.
Spread glaze over top of each cookie. Enjoy!
