In a large bowl using an electric mixer beat sugar and butter until light (about 5 minutes).
Beat in egg and vanilla.
In a small bowl mix together flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture JUST to combine.
Divide the dough in half and gather each pieces into a ball, then flatten into a disc.
Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for a minimum of 2 hours or more, or freeze.
Set oven to 325°F (second-lowest rack).
Roll out one disc on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Using assorted cookie cutter cut out cookies and transfer to a ungreased cookie sheet, leaving 1-inch between cookies.
Gather dough scraps and re-roll.
Repeat with remaining dough disc.
Bake cookies until pale golden (about 13 minutes).
Transfer to racks and cool.
Melt the white chocolate and spoon into a pastry bag (1/16-inch tip size) or just drizzle with a small spoon.
Pipe the chocolate onto the cookies in a decorative pattern.
Sprinkle lightly with very finely chopped almonds if desired, then let stand until the chocolate sets.
