  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well-combined, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt and gently fold until just combined.
  4. Roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness on a floured surface.
  5. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 8-10 minutes.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth to prepare the icing.
  9. Once cooled, drizzle the icing over the cookies and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles.
