- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them two inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are still soft. Allow to cool on sheets.

Notes
Chill dough if too sticky. Watch baking time closely, and allow cookies to cool completely before decorating.
