Spritz Butter Cookies With Wilson Cookie Press

Spritz Butter Cookies Recipe

1 1/2 cup Butter, softened

1 cup Sugar

1 Egg

2 TBS. Milk

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

1/2 tsp. Almond Extract

3 1/2 cups Flour

1 tsp. Baking Powder

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In medium bowl, combine flour and baking powder.

In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk, and extracts. Add flour mixture; mix well.

Fill cookie press with dough and fit with desired plates; press cookies onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet; remove to cooking rack and cool completely.

Makes about 7-8 dozen.

Tip: Do not refrigerate the dough before using the cookie press. The dough needs to be soft to squeeze through the press.

This cookie press is a great tool for making butter cookies. 

It is so easy to use: 

Load with batter.

Place in position.

Squeeze the trigger.

Lift.

Ta da!

It is also easy to change cookie shape plates.

Unscrew the collar. And remove the plate that you want to replace.

Select a new cookie shape plate. Put it into place with the correct side facing out, as indicated on the plate.

Screw the collar back on and load the press with more cookie dough.

I really like my cookie press. Mr. In the Mid-west bought in for me several years ago. 

I used to keep a container of these Spritz cookies on hand in the freezer back when I was a, "Cookie Jar Mama." I wrote a blog post about it at the time. You can read the post about that era HERE. Memories..... :)
