Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and place two baking sheets in the freezer.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add 1 ½ cup unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and ¾ teaspoon salt. Beat with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Add 2 large eggs, 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon almond extract and beat until well combined. You will likely need to scrape down the bowl two or three times to make sure everything is completely incorporated.
- Add 4 cups all-purpose flourin 2-3 additions, scraping down the bowl as needed, until completely incorporated.
- Assemble the cookie press with the desired disc. Fill the press with the dough. Place the press flat against one of the chilled baking sheets and press the cookie press for 1 click. Hold for 2-3 seconds before pulling away. If the cookie doesn’t stick to the baking sheet, you can use a small silicone spatula to carefully peel it away from the press and let it fall onto the baking sheet. They can be moved as needed, so long as you are very gentle with them to not ruin the shape.
- If desired, sprinkle with sanding sugar or sprinkles. Bake for 7-8 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Let cool completely before serving.
