Directions

1. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. This will take a few minutes.
2. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat well.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.
4. Stir the dry ingredients into the creamy mixture until well combined.
5. Using your hands, bring all the dough together into a ball.
6. Split the ball in half and then form each half into a small disk.
7. Wrap each disk in parchment paper and chill in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.
8. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
9. Once the dough is chilled, roll it out between two pieces of lightly floured parchment paper to a 1/4 inch thickness.
10. Using floured cookie cutters cut out the cookies and place on a cookie sheet.
11. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
12. Baked for 9 mins. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, and then remove to cooling racks.
13. If decorating with chocolate, combine the chocolate chips and soy milk in a microwave safe bowl. Melt the chocolate gradually in the microwave in 20 second increments. Stirring after each 20 second period, until chocolate is almost melted. It will continue to melt as it is stirred.
14. Drizzle chocolate on the cookies and add sprinkles as desired.
