⅛teaspoonsaltI used salted butter, if using unsalted you can increase it to ¼ teaspoon
2 ¼cupsunbleached all-purpose flour
Instructions
Line a cookie sheet with a silicone mat.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, with a hand mixer, cream the butter and the granulated sugar together.
Add the egg, the vanilla extract, and the salt. Mix until combined.
Add the flour. If using a hand mixer, make sure it is on low and slowly add the flour in increments of ¼ to ⅓ cup. Doing it this way the flour will mix easier and not go everywhere. As soon as you don’t have any dry flour add more flour. If mixing with a wooden spoon you can add more flour.
Once the batter is all mixed, it will be thick, place it in the cookie press.
Put the cookie press on the baking sheet. Press down and lift.
Repeat until all the sheet is full.
Cook in a preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until the edge of the cookies are set and slightly brown.
Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.
Decorate with sprinkles or colored sugars.
Serve and Enjoy with a glass of milk, eggnog, or even tea!
Notes
Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container on the counter for 1 week, and in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
