Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

In the bowl of a standing mixer, or with an electric mixer, cream together the butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla and mix until combined. Gradually add the flour and mix until a dough forms.

Place the dough in a cookie spritzer fitted with desired shapes. Press cookies onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until edges are just starting to turn golden.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Butter Temperature is Critical 🧈
Use room-temperature butter (65-70°F) for optimal dough consistency; too cold won't pipe smoothly through the press, while too warm causes spreading and loss of definition.
Chill Dough Between Batches ❄️
Refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes between pressing sessions to maintain shape integrity and prevent cookies from flattening during baking.
Prime Your Cookie Press 🎯
Fill the press slowly and tap it gently on the baking sheet before pressing to remove air pockets, ensuring clean, uniform shapes every time.
Salt Enhancement Trick 🧂
Use half kosher salt and half fleur de sel in the recipe; the delicate sea salt adds sophisticated flavor depth while the kosher salt provides structure to the delicate dough.
Bake on Parchment for Perfect Bottoms ✨
Line baking sheets with parchment paper rather than greasing; this ensures even browning on the bottom and prevents any butter pooling that would compromise the cookie's delicate crunch.
