SPRITZ COOKIES FOR COOKIE PRESS

Steps:

• Step 1: Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Step 2: Add egg and vanilla, mix until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all of the ingredients are combined.
• Step 3: Now, split the mixture in half. I press it down evenly in the bowl and then draw a line. Scoop one half into another bowl Not precise, but it works. One half (bowl) will be the classic version and the other half will be the chocolate version.
• Step 4:
• To the Classic version:
• add 1 3/4 cup flour and combine. I start with 1 1/2 cups flour and see if that is enough. We want a soft dough. If I add too much flour it becomes crumbly and won't work in the cookie press. Thus, I start with a lower amount of flour and if needed, add more.
• To the Chocolate version:
• add 1/8 cup sugar, 1 1/2 cups flour and 2 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.
• Step 5: Add the dough to your cookie press and press the cookies onto a cookie sheet. Decorate with colored sugar and sprinkles. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 10 minutes; or until the edges are a light golden brown. Let them cool for two minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
• As I said earlier, these cookies are not just for Christmas. You can make these all year round by changing the press and decorations. Imagine the possibilities.... recipe from: https://www.funinkeywest.com/2-best-ways-to-make-pampered-chef-spritz-cookie-recipe/.

WREATH COOKIE PRESS COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar. Slowly add flour and baking powder alternating with egg and flavorings. Mix in green food coloring. Split batch into 4 parts, wrap each in plastic and refridgerate. When ready to form cookies: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Remove one part of dough and warm to room tempature. Fill a cookie press. Use the star plate to form dough into a long thin piece of dough. Allow dough to sprial slightly as it leaves the cookie press. Make 2 inch diameter, circle shaped cookies and press ends together with finger. Form cookies closely together as they will not spread. Cover the entire cookie sheet. Place two red hots on the pressed ends of each cookie...slightly press into dough. Using small measuring spoon, fill sprial edges of cookies with green decorator sugar. Use lots of sugar as much as possible - sugar will stick to formed cookie dough as it warms. After entire sheet of cookies is covered with sugar, lightly tap to remove excess sugar from cookie sheet (save and reuse). Bake cookies until just set. Usually 6 minutes. Watch them carefully. Cookies are done when set, but redhots are not melted. Bake one sheet at a time.
