In a deep bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder with a whisk.
In an electric mixer with the paddle (not the whisk), mix the room temperature butter with the sugar. Add the egg, brandy, and vanilla and continue combining. Gradually add the flour and finish mixing.
Place the dough on a clean floured surface and make two balls of dough. Cover the balls with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Flour a clean surface and roll out a ball of dough until it is 1/4 cm thick. It is important to use the rolling pin from side to side and keep moving the dough to prevent sticking.
Using a tie-shaped cutter, cut out the cookies and place them on the baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
While the cookies cool, make the icing by beating the powdered sugar, egg white, and water with an electric mixer using the paddle.
Using artificial colorants, tint the icing (remember to use very little coloring to achieve a good pastel color).
Decorate the cookies with the icing.
