Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies

Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.

Beat white sugar, 3/4 cup butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl using an electric mixer; beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until mixture is smooth.

Mix butter mixture into flour mixture and form dough into a ball.

Wrap ball with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Roll dough onto a lightly floured surface and cut into shapes using cookie cutters.

Arrange cookies on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until edges begin to brown, about 10 minutes.

Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth.

Slowly beat confectioners' sugar into cream cheese mixture until icing is smooth; spread onto cooled cookies.
