Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Colored sanding sugar optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract; beat until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  6. Fit your cookie press with the desired disc and fill it with dough. Press shapes onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart.
  7. Sprinkle colored sanding sugar over the top of each cookie, if desired.
  8. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn golden.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
