Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Lightly flour a clean work surface, then roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch (6 mm).
Use flower-shaped cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough. Gently insert a lollipop stick into the base of each cookie, about halfway up the shape. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are fully cooled, decorate them as desired with royal icing, colored sugar, or sprinkles. Let the decorations set before serving.
