Ingredients
- 1 cup (8 oz/225 g) butter, softened
- ⅔ cup (5 oz/142 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (10 oz/284 g) all-purpose flour
Notes
- You can take these cookies to the next level by sprinkling them with colorful sanding sugar before baking OR dipping them in chocolate after baking.
- You can make these spritz colorful by adding a few drops of gel food coloring or into your dough at the same time as when you are adding the egg, cream, and vanilla.
- No cookie press or piping bag? You can still make these cookies! Let the dough chill for easier handling, then scoop heaping tablespoon balls onto a prepared cookie sheet and flatten slightly.
- You can prepare the dough in advance, wrapped and stored in the refrigerator. Allow the dough to warm up a bit at room temperature before piping; otherwise, it will be too stiff.
- For an extra boost of vanilla flavor, add a scraped vanilla bean into your dough at the same time as when you add the butter and sugar!
- Use a large piping nozzle, around 9 mm.
