This simple butter cookies recipe can be used in a cookie press, made as a drop cookie, or shaped into a roll and sliced. There is no special cookie recipe for a cookie press — any stiff butter type of cookie can be used! Just be sure to chill it thoroughly so it keeps its shape while baking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and salt in a separate bowl; add to butter mixture and mix to form a dough. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Chill two cookie sheets.
Step 3
Transfer chilled dough to a cookie press; press out onto chilled cookie sheets.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden at the edges, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool.
