This recipe worked well in my cookie press. I just warmed it with my hands a little when I put it into the press. When cooked, they spread out a little too much. Very yummy, it's a keeper.

Cream the butter well, then add the eggs and vanilla. Sift the dry ingredients (we added only 1/2 cup extra flour) before mixing. Divide the dough into quarters and chill. Plan accordingly so you can roll them and cut them quickly. Watch while baking!!! With care, this can be THE BEST basic cookie for cutouts!

This recipe worked great in a cookie press. We added orange extract and zest for something a little different and it turned out awesome!!

Wonderful dough--I kneaded in a little extra flour and it rolled out beautifully. The cookies bake very quickly, so watch them carefully. I used the dough with a linzer cutter and made cookie sandwiches with jam or Nutella. They were buttery and sweet, but not cloyingly sweet. Definitely a recipe I will use again!

I made one variation bysubing some cocoa for part of the flour to give a chocolate kick, and it was a hit with all of my neighbors. I used them to make gift baskets by baking them in the ball form and them putting them in decoartive containers.

So delicious and easy! I lessened the flour to 2 2/3 cups b/c I didn't want to roll it out. I formed balls, smooshed them, and sprinkled them. So yummy! My son loved helping. Thanks!

This is a wonderful butter cookie. I use it by rolling it into a log shape, chilling and then rolling the log in colored sugar before slicing. Do not over bake!!
