The traditional German cookie gets a tropical update. Made with a cookie press.
Ingredients
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon rum extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 tablespoon pineapple juice
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
dessicated coconut (optional, not pictured)
Directions
- Heat oven to 400F. In large mixer bowl combine sugar, butter, egg, salt, extracts, and juice. 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. If dough is too soft, cover and refrigerate until firm enough to form cookies, 30 to 45 minutes. Place dough in cookie press. Form desired shapes 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. If desired, sprinkle with optional coconut (not pictured). Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
