Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the dough in half. Tint one half red and leave the other half plain.
- Wrap each dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
