Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks, softened
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 tsp almond extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
For decorating
- Sprinkles
- cookie frosting
- decorative sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- Prepare your cookie press according to manufacturer instructions.
- In large bowl cream butter and sugar together for 3 full minutes, scraping sides of bowl periodically. This can be done with a stand mixer with paddle attachment or hand mixer.
- Mix in egg and almond extract. Scrape down sides and give one more mix.
- Add flour and salt and mix JUST until combined.
- If using food coloring (optional), separate your dough as needed and gradually add drops of food coloring until desired color is obtained.
- Roll dough into a few logs the size of your cookie press and place inside the barrel of your press.
- Follow instructions to prepare your cookie press for pressing out the cookies.
- Place cookie press directly on cookie sheet so that the dough STICKS to the cookie sheet. For some, parchment paper or a silicone mat may help the dough to stick, so you may need to play around with different options.
- Decorate your cookies BEFORE baking with desired toppings (except frosting).
- Bake at 350° F for 5-7 minutes. 5 minutes is the sweet spot for me, but if you like them crunchier, bake longer.
- Immediately place on cooling rack.
- If using decorative cookie frosting, wait for cookies to cool completely first.
