Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Add green food coloring and mix until the dough reaches the desired shade.
Roll out dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut using shamrock-shaped cookie cutters.
Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
Allow to cool on a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
