Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (90 g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • Sprinkles or coarse sugar, for decorating

Method
 

  1. Beat butter and confectioners’ sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add egg and vanilla; beat on low until smooth and glossy.
  3. Mix in flour and salt on lowest speed just until no dry streaks remain.
  4. Load dough into a cookie press and press shapes onto ungreased baking sheets. Add sprinkles immediately.
  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
  6. Cool on the sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve once crisp.

Notes

These cookies are best the day they’re baked but stay fresh in an airtight container for up to a week. If the dough feels too soft to press cleanly, refrigerate it for just 5 minutes before continuing.
