directions
- Demo about using cookie press http://www.food.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=243023.
- Set out the butter so it is at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, add the vanilla.
- In a different bowl combine flour and baking powder; add this dry mixture to creamed mixture and mix well.
- If you want to add a drop of food coloring, do so.
- Put a portion of dough into the cookie press.
- Shape dough with cookie press. ( When I use the swirlie plate, I like to get some dough onto the cookie sheet with press' feet? down --whatever you call them- LOL-- right on the cookie sheet and then turn the screw gizmo about 3 rotations. The first few usually do not look the best but by about the third one I have it figured out.).
- Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 14-15 minutes. If you use a dark cookie sheet it will take less time.

Cookie press cookies have been a nightmare for me in the past. These came out great!<br/> and this recipe works very well.I cannot believe I made it!! thanks a lot.! You can also color the dough with food coloring, and decorate with drag'es and colored sugar. Me and the grandkids had fun playing with this, we do play with food here. WE! Thank You Oh so munch the fun today and Happy Cooking! This recipe made the best dough to work with! And the cookies were light and buttery.
