Instructions
Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla.
In a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt.
Add flour mixture to butter mixture and then chill at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Roll out dough onto a floured surface and cut into cookie shapes.
Bake 8-10 minutes. I take them out before the edges brown so they’ll be super soft. Let cool.
Mash avocado and mix with powdered sugar into a frosting.
Frost cookies. Let the frosting harden and then dust with glittery cake dust so you can pretend their coated in magic pixie dust.
