For my birthday, last month, my mother-in-law gave me a cookie press. Yesterday, I used it for the first time. I get a little apprehensive trying things out for the first time, but once I found my bravery and finally tried it, I really liked this little thing. It's so nice not to have to roll the cookie dough in my hands. My hands stayed clean the entire time of putting cookies on the sheet! Plus, they look super cute! If you have a cookie press, my advice is to use it, and use it a LOT! So, some very common cookies to make with a cookie press are spritz cookies. They are perfect for Christmas because a lot of the little designs you can do are Christmas related. I made them to take to Achievement Days today. I'm sure the cute girls will love them, and be reminded of what time of year it is. I got this particular recipe from my Pillsbury cookbook.
Spritz Cookies1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 1/3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. In large bowl, combine powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and egg; beat until light and fluffy. Add flour and salt; mix well.
Fit cookie press with desired template. Fill cookie press; press dough onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 5-7 minutes or until edges are firm but not brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets.
