Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350° and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 Cream together butter and sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2
minutes).
3 Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract; beat for 1 minute.
4 Slowly add in flour and salt until dough forms.
5 Place the dough in the cookie press. Select a plate design and insert it on the
bottom of the press. Line the press perpendicular to the baking sheet and pull
the handle. Tip: if the dough isn't sticking to the baking sheet, try placing
the baking sheet in the freezer for a few minutes. Another method is to gently
remove the spritz cookie from the cookie press with a toothpick.
6 Lightly coat the cookies with water and add sprinkles. The water helps the
nonpareils stick to the cookies.
7 Bake for 7-9 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to
a cooling rack.
8 Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
