Mom's Festive Spritz Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) by adjusting the temperature setting on your oven's control panel.
2
Place two baking sheets side-by-side in the oven racks, and cover them with a layer of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
3
In a large mixing bowl, merge together butter and sugar using a spoon or spatula until they form a smooth union.
4
Using an electric mixer, blend the butter-sugar mixture on high speed until it reaches a light and airy consistency.
5
In a separate container, whisk together egg yolks and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
6
Merge the egg yolk mixture with the butter-sugar mixture, stirring until all ingredients are fully combined.
7
Add flour and baking powder to the mixture, blending until a uniform dough forms. If the dough doesn't come together easily, use your hands to knead it until it reaches a cohesive state.
8
Feed the dough into a cookie press, and use the press's mechanism to shape spritz-shaped cookies onto the prepared baking sheets.
9
Place the cookie-lined baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake until the cookies are lightly browned, taking 8 to 10 minutes.
10
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for a brief period on the baking sheets.
11
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack, where they will cool completely before being decorated with your preferred design.
