Cookie Press Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolks, 2 tablespoons water, flour, salt and vanilla. Chill the dough.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
• Fill the cookie press and shape the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the top of each cookie with the egg whites mixed with 2 tablespoons of the water. Decorate as desired.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) until the cookies are golden brown on top, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, flour, salt, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly.
• Fill a cookie press with the dough, and turn out cookies 1 to 2 inches apart onto an unbuttered baking sheet. Sprinkle cookies with colored sanding sugars.
• Bake until the cookies are lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. To ensure even baking, rotate sheet halfway through the baking process. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, salt, egg, almond extract and a few drops of food color.
• Place dough in cookie press. Form desired shapes on ungreased cookie sheet. Decorate with currants.
• Bake 5 to 8 minutes or until set but not brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. To decorate cookies after baking, use a drop of corn syrup to attach decorations to cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Thoroughly cream butter and sugar.
• Add egg, milk, vanilla and almond extracts; beat well. Sift the flour and then measure by spooning the sifted flour into the measuring cup. (Using too much flour will make the dough too dense to come out the press. I have found out the hard way that sifting the flour is important!).
• Stir together flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture, mixing to make a smooth dough.
• DO NOT CHILL.
• Place dough in cookie press and press cookies on to ungreased cookie sheet.
