Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter

1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2.25 cups all-purpose flour
0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
3. Gradually mix in the flour and salt just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
4. Fill your cookie press with the dough and press cookies onto an ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
5. Decorate with sprinkles if desired.
6. Bake at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
7. Cool on the pan for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These cookies don’t need chilling—press and bake right away.
Avoid greasing your baking sheet; the dough needs grip to release from the press.
Use room-temperature butter for the best creaming results and cookie texture.
