I have been wanting to use my Crate and Barrel cookie press since I got it as a wedding gift over a year ago and today I finally whipped it out and baked these Spritz Cookies. I got this recipe from Betty Crocker. I do think I will make them in different colors and add sprinkles to make them more festive but this was just practice. Here is the recipe:
| 1 | cup butter or margarine, softened |
| 1/2 | cup sugar |
| 1 | egg |
| 2 1/2 | cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour |
| 1/4 | teaspoon salt |
| 1/4 | teaspoon almond extract or vanilla |
| Few drops of food color, if desired |
- Heat oven to 400ยบ. Beat butter, sugar and egg in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients.
- Place dough in cookie press. Form desired shapes on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 5 to 8 minutes or until set but not brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool completely.
They are so tasty :)
These were taken during bath-time yesterday. Sully is so adorable!
I am totally obsessed with his tiny hands and feet...especially when he's eating.
Hope everyone had a great day!
