Ingredients
- 8 ounces butter (1 cup) (226 g) room temperature
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour (300 g)
- 3/4 cups sugar (150g)
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Gel food coloring (optional)
Instructions
-
In a large bowl cream the butter with sugar and salt until light and fluffy. You can use an handheld mixer or stand up mixer.
-
Add the egg and continue beating until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and mix.
-
Slowly add a 1/4 of the flour and mix. Now slowly add the remaining flour but use a spatula to incorporate. You’ll get a soft dough that resembles children play-doh. You can divide dough and add food coloring for desired color.
-
Fill your cookie press as per instructions on your specific model. (Usually one press equals one cookie).
-
Press cookie on an unlined and non-greased cookie sheet. The dough needs to stick to sheet as you press them out.
-
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should be slightly golden. Don’t overcook.
-
To decorate cookie you can lightly brush with corn syrup or maple syrup and add sprinkles.
Enjoy!
