This Spritz Cookie Recipe is a favorite for Christmas as it uses a cookie press and makes a large batch of cookies. These sugar cookies have a great butter flavor and can be decorated as you like or left plain.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup granulated white sugar
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
sprinkles , optional for decoration
icing, optional for decoration

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using a handheld electric mixer or stand mixer.
Mix in the large egg and pure vanilla extract.
In a separate mixing bowl, mix flour and baking powder together. Gradually, add flour mixture to the egg mixture.
Add the cookie batter into the cookie press and press cookies onto the prepared baking sheet. At this point, you can add sprinkles if you wish.
Bake in the preheated oven, on the center rack in the middle of the oven for best results, and bake in batches.
When the cookies are done, allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer them to a wire cooling rack. Decorate with icing if you wish.
To save time you can bake on multiple baking sheets at the same time.

Notes

The cookie dough needs to be at room temperature to work well with the cookie press. It doesn't work well if it's too warm or too cold.
