How To Make buttery spritz cookies

  • Step 1
    In a large mixing bowl beat butter (or margarine) with an electric mixer on medium speed about 30 seconds or until softened. Add about half of the flour. Add sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, and baking powder. If desired, add coconut flavoring. Beat until thoroughly combined. Beat or stir in remaining flour. Do not chill dough. Pack dough into a cookie press. Force dough through the press onto an ungreased cookie sheet If desired, decorate with candies, fruits, nuts, or colored sugars.
