Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking pan with parchment.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Using a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar and cream using a hand mixer.
Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract.
On low speed, add 1/4 of the dry ingredients and mix until well distributed. Continue to add flour, 1/4 cup at a time until all is mixed in and combined.
Sprinkle some flour on a hard surface. Place some of the dough on the hard surface and use a rolling pin to make it about 1/4 inch thick.
Using a circle cookie cutter, cut out 12 round shapes from the dough and place on parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes and let cool on a wire rack.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
