Use a cookie press to create lovely shapes in this easy, buttery cookie.

2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Heat oven to 400F. In large mixer bowl combine sugar, butter, egg, salt, and vanilla. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture is light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed, 2 to 3 minutes. Place dough in cookie press. Form desired shapes 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Note: You can also color the dough with food coloring, and decorate with dragées and colored sugar.

Would not make this again.
Best I can say: awful. I tried this instead of my normal pressed cookie recipe. The dough was way too soft even after 24 hours in the fridge. Only the first few cookies came out of press, then they just turned into blobs. one star

I should have paid attention to the first comment! (A cookie baker from Wisconsin said he would never make this again.) one star

Good recipe . This is the first time I made cookies with the press. This recipe tasted Todd and was easy to do. We added green food coloring to make trees for Christmas. five stars

Would make this again.
This is the best recipie, I have tried making dough for the cookie press before, and the dough always came up too soft. I used 1 stick salted butter, and 1 stick margerine. You can omit the salt,(I actually forgot to put it in).. they came out so good. Only complaint I have is the yield on a batch. Oh yes, I put the cookie sheets in the freezer before putting dough on. five stars
