These days, I make spritz cookies with my kids for all sorts of special occasions - Valentine's Day, St. Patricks Day - you name it!
INGREDIENTS
– 1 cup butter room temperature – ¾ cup sugar – 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour – ½ teaspoon salt – 1 large egg beaten and at room temperature – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Food coloring and sprinkles optional
Fill your cookie press with about ¼ of the dough, and press the cookies on an un-greased cookie sheet. Add sprinkles if desired.
Bake for 6 to 8 minutes - until the cookies are set but not browned. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
