Holiday Spritz Cookies

- Serves
- About 7 dozen one to two inch cookies
I always make a few batches of these over the holidays. I adapted the recipe from a "Land O Lakes" butter cookie recipe I found on the inside of the packaging. I find that using turbinado sugar gives the cookie a nice sandy texture. You can just use regular sugar if you like. I use a cookie press, but I've had some success rolling out the dough between sheets of parchment and using cookie cutters. You could also refrigerate, slice and bake. The dough will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for about 2 weeks.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup turbinado or regular sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- sprinkles or other cookie decorations
