Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F (177°C). Use clean, ungreased, room-temperature metal baking sheets.
- Cream butter and sugar until smooth; incorporate egg and flavor additions.
- Mix in flour and salt to produce a soft but pipeable dough; add powdered flavors before flour.
- Fill a cookie press with dough and press 42 identical shapes directly onto the cool sheets.
- Bake 9–11 minutes until set and barely golden around edges. Cool on sheet 2 minutes.
- Keep sheets cool between batches; dough sticks better to cool, ungreased sheet metal.
Tips
- Measure flour by weight; extra flour makes dense, dry cookies.
- Chilled dough and parchment promote even geometry and prevent sticking.
