Iced Sugar Cookies

1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/8 teaspoon food coloring, any color (optional)
3 teaspoons water

1. Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until thoroughly combined. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; mix well. Stir into creamed mixture until thoroughly mixed. Shape into a ball, cover and chill for 1 hour.
2. Meanwhile, make icing by combining powdered sugar, food coloring and enough water until desired consistency is reached; set aside.
