Ingredients
- 1 cup softened butter salted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkles I used red and green sugar sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and get a baking sheet ready (do not use non-stick).
- Using a stand or hand mixer, combine butter and sugar in a large bowl.
- Add flour, egg, and vanilla, mixing until thoroughly combined.
- Using a rubber spatula, scrape the bowl to gather the dough.
- Assemble the cookie press according to package instructions.
- Place the dough in the cookie press, filling completely.
- Press the dough out into shapes.
- Top with sprinkles and bake for 5-8 minutes or until firm but not brown.
- Cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- The dough is very buttery, so you will want to use a spoon or spatula to fill the cookie press.
- You will want the dough to be warm so it will stick to the cookie sheet.
- Make sure to use a non-greased baking sheet. DO NOT use a Silpat or parchment paper, or the cookies will not stick.
- If the dough doesn’t want to stick to the baking sheet, place both the baking sheet and the dough in the fridge to cool for 15-20 minutes.
- The recipe will make 60 to 75 cookies, depending on the size of your cookie shapes.
