Spritz Cookies
This recipe requires a cookie press, but is totally worth it, especially if you have young children to help. I remember making these with my grandmother when I was young, and I’m not sure whether I had more fun making or eating!
Ingredients
- ½ lb. (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ tsp. salt
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
- In a large bowl or mixer, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla; stir until combined. Add flour and salt; stir until combined.
- Cover and refrigerate dough for at least one hour (longer is okay).
- Preheat oven to 350°. Load dough into cookie press and press onto ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake each batch until nicely brown, usually 10-15 minutes. Let cool on sheet, then remove to cooling rack when sufficiently firm (5 minutes or so).
