Makes about 60 cookies

 

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 2/3 cup sugar

• 1 large egg

• 2 teaspoons vanilla

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

​

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400°F.

2. Combine all ingredients except flour in bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy.

3. Add flour; beat at low speed until well mixed. Prepare dough as directed by variations below, if desired. (If dough is too soft, cover and refrigerate, 30-45 minutes.) I highly recommend you refrigerate the dough for easier handling.

4. Place dough into cookie press fitted with template. Form desired shapes, 1 inch apart, cookie sheets.  You do not need to grease cookie sheets, but I recommend the parchment papers.

5. Decorate with sprinkles, you can even add food coloring to dough.
