Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs, baking powder and vanilla until very well blended. With mixer on low speed, gradually beat in flour and cream until well blended.
Divide dough in half. Wrap each portion and refrigerate until firm enough to roll, at least 3 hours.
Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease cookie sheet(s).
On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 portion dough (keep remainder refrigerated) to 1⁄4-inch thickness. Cut out angels (or other shapes) with floured cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheet(s).
To make angels’ hair: Use dough scraps. For every tablespoon dough, knead in 1⁄4 teaspoon flour. Press dough through a garlic press. Arrange strands on angels’ heads.
Bake 12 to 14 minutes or just until bottoms and edges of cookies are lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheet(s) 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
Decorate as shown or as you wish. Let stand about 2 hours until icing sets.
