Cookie-Press Cookies image

Rich, buttery, and made with lots of vanilla, these cookies are simple to make. Use a cookie press-a hollow tube fitted with a decorative nozzle at one end and a plunger at the other-to press the cookies directly onto the baking sheet.

WILTON BUTTER PRESS COOKIES



Wilton Butter Press Cookies image

I love these simple little cookies with my afternoon tea. Very versatile too since you can color them or use whatever press attachment is appropriate for the occasion. For a super dainty cookie, use the bar plate in the press and press a long ribbon of dough onto a cookie sheet (ridged side up). Score the cookie dough at 2 inch intervals. (I use a pizza cutter, much easier than a knife) Once cool, drizzle melted chocolate coating over them in a zigzag pattern and dust with confectioner's sugar. (Using too much flour will make the dough too dense to come out the press. I have found out the hard way that sifting the flour is important!)

PRESSED BUTTER COOKIES



Pressed Butter Cookies image

If you love butter, then you will love this cookie! I used to love when my mom would make these for Christmas. It is my favorite cookie by far and I make them for special occasions! It is a cookie that you cannot stop eating once you start. They are very pretty among a plate full of other cookies if you use food coloring and cookie press for decorative shapes. My grandmother created this recipe and you can make a chocolate version by substituting 1/4 cup cocoa for 1/4 cup of the flour. This recipe can also be doubled easily.

2 lb powdered sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
14 oz condensed milk
food coloring, of your choice

Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter and cream cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are cold before creaming them together. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • If you don't have a cookie press, you can use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to create the cookies.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a low temperature (325 degrees Fahrenheit) for a longer period of time. This will help to ensure that the cookies are cooked through without overbrowning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
