Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla or 1 tsp vanilla & 1 tsp almond extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter, egg, salt and vanilla as well as food coloring (if you are adding it).
  3. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until batter is light and fluffy. Approx. 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add flour slowly.
  5. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Approx. 2-3 minutes.
  6. Place dough in cookie press. Form desired shapes 1 inch apart on cookie sheets
  7. Bake 6-8 minutes or until edges are slightly browned.
  8. We prefer these plain, but if you desire a decorative glaze, simply whisk 1/2 cup confectioners sugar with 4 tsp of water. Brush glaze over baked cookies and top with colored sugar or sprinkles.
