Cookie Press Cookies


Cookie Press Cookies
Meghann Bezdikian - Philadelphia, PA

Here's my favorite thing to make over the holidays.  Cookie press cookies!  I love making Green Tree Shaped ones.  Recipe is below.  It's super easy :)

Ingredients
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
Heat oven to 400F. In large mixer bowl combine sugar, butter, egg, salt, and vanilla. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture is light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed, 2 to 3 minutes. Place dough in cookie press. Form desired shapes 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Note: Can also color dough with food coloring, and decorate with colored sugar.
