Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Do not grease baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fill a cookie press fitted with desired disk and press dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes or until edges are just golden. Cool on sheets 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill dough briefly if it’s too soft to press clean shapes.
- Decorate with sanding sugar before baking or drizzle with chocolate after cooling.
- Store in airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for 2 months.
