Steps:
- In large bowl, mix granulated sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs until well blended. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 24 hours.
- Heat oven to 400°F. On lightly floured surface, roll about one-third of dough 1/8 inch thick. Cut with 1 1/2 to 2-inch star-shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake about 6 minutes or until light brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.
- In medium bowl, mix all glaze ingredients except coarse sugar crystals until smooth, glossy and pourable. Place cooled cookies together in pairs with about 1 teaspoon glaze, with points of top cookie between points of bottom cookie. Place cookies on cooling rack on cookie sheet to catch excess glaze. Pour 1 tablespoon glaze evenly over top and sides of each cookie, glazing only a few at time. When glaze is set but still soft, move cookies to another rack or waxed paper; sprinkle with sugar crystals. (Occasionally remove glaze from cookie sheet, and add a few drops of hot water as necessary to make glaze smooth and thin enough to pour; continue glazing.)
- In small bowl, mix frosting ingredients to make a frosting that can be easily drizzled or used in a decorating bag, yet holds its shape. Pipe snowflake designs on cookies. Let cookies dry completely before storing.

Tips:
- Use high-quality butter. This will give your cookies a richer flavor and texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them lighter and more tender.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time. This will help to prevent the cookies from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Over-mixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Use a cookie press to shape the cookies. This will give them a uniform shape and make them easier to decorate.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Over-baking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before decorating. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
Conclusion:
Snowflake cookies are a festive and delicious treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated in any way you like. With a little creativity, you can create beautiful and unique snowflake cookies that will impress your friends and family.
