6 best butter cookie recipe for cookie press

Here's a butter cookie recipe that you can use with a cookie press:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it's light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.

  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; just mix until the dough comes together.

  6. Fill your cookie press with the dough according to the manufacturer's instructions for your specific press. Choose your desired shape for the cookies.

  7. Press the cookies onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake; you want them to be slightly soft in the center.

  9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  10. Once the cookies are completely cooled, you can store them in an airtight container. They should stay fresh for several days.

Enjoy your delicious butter cookies made with a cookie press! These cookies are great for holidays and special occasions.

User questions & answers

Question: Can someone tell me the diameter of the stainless steel discs
Answer: I have not made fruit pies or cobblers, but it did not react with tomatoes which are also high acid. I have fermented Muscadine grapes, a variety of Scuppernong in a stainless stock pot with no problems. My guess is your old one was not pure stainless. A good stainless steel will not react.
Question: I have arthritis in my wrist and want to know if anyone thinks this would be easier to use than original presses. Does it eliminate twisting
Answer: I did not cook my tomatoes before using the mill, and that's exactly what I used it for-- to remove skins and seeds. I dipped the whole tomatoes in scalding water for a minute or two to loosen the skins, but did not cook them.
Question: How many disks will the storage case hold? It says it will hold more than the 12 it comes with, but it is hard to tell from the photos and in the video, it looks like extra disks would just sit between the 'ribs' in the case. Do I understand this correctly? Extra disk sets don't seem to come with a case, so I want to b
Answer: I have arthritis in my hands. Got rid of my food mill because too hard to push and my fingers hurt badly. This oxo product is so much better.
Question: I wanted to buy extra disks but when I was looking, they had different letter sizes. Does the OXO cookie press use size M
Answer: Use the smallest screen and it works better than anything I've ever seen at removing blackberry seeds. I've made 30+ quarts of blackberry jam and over a dozen blackberry pies with mine.

User questions & answers

Question: I've noticed that, when making cheese straws, there sometimes seems to be a grey substance on the straws. Any ideas
Answer: Hello, When the chair is not folded, its height is 15 inches.
Question: Just curious, making cheese straws for the first time. Did you use the star or zigzag? Thanks
Answer: Yes It is, I put mine in the Dishwasher all the time and up to now haven't had any issues with it.
Question: Is this made of metal? what kind? does it shut tightly so the end won't pop off when i'm pressing cookies
Answer: These cups are 8 inches tall without the lid.
Question: What is the volume in cups or quarts of the cylinder? Is retracting the plunger slow
Answer: When the back area is flipped up (to open the drinking hole) it opens up a gap that goes all the way through thus working as an extra hole and increasing coffee flow and consumption.
