Cream the butter and sugar together.

Combine the baking powder with the flour and slowly add to the egg and butter mixture.
Once your iron is hot, spoon about a tablespoon of batter onto the iron.
Close the iron and let cook for just a few minutes...do NOT walk away.
Remove the cookies using a spatula or a fork.
Place on a sheet of parchment paper to cool.
Notes
My mother and grandmother always substituted the vanilla with 1 tsp. anise seeds.
I like to use 1 tsp. of anise flavoring.
