Recipe: Butter Spritz Cookies

These cookies are simple and delicious. We usually make 2 or 3 batches because they disappear so quickly.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened

• 2/3 cups sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp almond extract

• 2 1/4 cups flour

• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat oven 350 degrees.

Place butter in mixer bowl and blend until smooth and creamy, around 1 - 3 minutes. Add sugar and blend for around 2 minutes. Add egg and extracts. Blend well. Add salt and flour and blend until combined. (add food coloring if desired)

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.

Place dough in a cookie press and form shapes. Bake 8 - 9 minutes.

Dust with powdered sugar when cool.
