Instructions
- In a large bowl beat until creamy the butter and sugar (approximately 2-3 minutes), then add the egg and vanilla, beating on medium to combine.
- Add the salt and flour (a little at a time), beating with the flat beaters until just combined to make a compact soft dough. (start with 2¼ cups add more if needed).
- Place a little dough at a time into the cookie press, easier if you form the dough into a small log and place in the press, make the cookie forms directly on the cookie sheet without greasing or placing parchment paper on top. Sprinkle the cookies with sprinkles if desired then chill the cookies while the oven is pre-heating, for about 15-20 minutes.
- Pre-heat oven to 350° F.
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes (they should be light in colour when done) let the cookies cool 5 minutes on the cookie sheet then move to a wire rack to cool completely, top with cherry halves or melted chocolate if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- For room temperature remove the ingredients from the fridge 45-60 minutes before using.
- Store the cooled baked cookies in an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 4-5 days.
- Freeze the completely cooled spritz cookies in a freezer safe container, they will keep for up to 6 months.
