We have made these cookies (call them press cookies) since I was a child. I think just about everyone in the family has a cookie press. We have evolved every year in creativity when it comes to color...our trees were pastel green when I was a kid...today they are the most lurid shade of green you can imagine! We get an assembly line going and cover Mom's dining room table with tasty morsels...it's one of our group pre-Christmas activities.
1 C. butter
3/4 C. sugar
1 egg
2 1/4 C. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
salt
1 tsp. almond extract.
food coloring if desired
if you are not a fan of almond extract, sub in vanilla.
Mix by hand or with your electric mixer. Divide dough into two logs and chill overnight.
Load your cookie press, pick a stencil and go to town....use your favorite sugars, jimmies, sprinkles to decorate.
