Easy Spritz Cookies Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  *see notes
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 2 In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl using a handheld mixer, cream
  the butter and sugar together until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla; beat until
  combined, scraping the bowl as necessary.
• 3 Then mix in the flour and salt and continue to beat until completely
  incorporated.
• 4 Follow the manufacturer's direction to press the dough through the cookie press.
  On my press, I place a decorative plate in the base of the press and fill the
  tube with cookie dough. Holding the press perpendicular to the baking sheet,
  press the cookie, leaving a 2-inch space between. If adding sprinkles, lightly
  brush a tiny bit of water over the pressed cookies before adding sprinkles.
• 5 Bake until slightly browned on the edges of the cookies; 7 to 9 minutes.
• 6 Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before
  transferring to a rack to cool completely.
