In a deep bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder with a balloon whisk.
In an electric mixer with the paddle attachment (not the balloon whisk), mix the room temperature butter with the sugar. Add the egg, brandy, and vanilla and continue mixing. Gradually add the flour and finish mixing.
Place the dough on a floured clean surface and make two balls of dough. Cover the balls with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Prepare two baking trays with parchment paper.
Flour a clean surface and use a rolling pin to roll out a ball of dough until it is 1/4 cm thick. It is important to move the dough frequently to prevent it from sticking while rolling.
Using heart-shaped cookie cutters, cut out the cookies and place them on baking trays. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
While the cookies are cooling, make the icing by beating the powdered sugar, egg white, and water with an electric mixer using the paddle attachment.
Divide the icing in half and add a little more water to one half. This half of the icing is used to cover the base of the cookies. The other thicker half of the icing is used for the edges or for details.
With food coloring, paint the icings (remember to use very little coloring to achieve a good pastel color).
Decorate the cookies with the icings. Use the thicker icing for the edges and fill in with the thinner icing.
