Equipment
- Holiday Cookie Discs (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups salted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment) beat together the butter, sugar, and salt. Mix until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating between each addition, then add the vanilla.
- Slowly add the flour with the mixer on low speed, mixing until well incorporated.
- Use a rubber spatula to transfer the cookie dough to a cookie press fitted with the desired disk. Press the dough out onto an ungreased baking sheet. (No silicone mats or parchment paper!) Add sprinkles before baking if desired.
- Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until the cookies are barely golden brown around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
- If you don't have salted butter, increase the total amount of salt in the cookies to 1 teaspoon and use unsalted butter.
- Change the flavor of your cookies with fun flavor extracts like orange or almond.
- You can skip the sprinkles and dip the tops of the cooled cookies into icing or chocolate if desired.
