WILTON BUTTER PRESS COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Thoroughly cream butter and sugar.
• Add egg, milk, vanilla and almond extracts; beat well. Sift the flour and then measure by spooning the sifted flour into the measuring cup. (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!).
• Stir together flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture, mixing to make a smooth dough.
• DO NOT CHILL.
• Place dough in cookie press and press cookies on to ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 6-8 minutes.
• Remove cookies from sheet and cool on rack.
• Makes 6 dozen cookies (but they're very small).

BUTTER SPRITZ COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and the egg and mix to incorporate; don't worry if the mixture seems to separate.
• Sift together the flour and baking powder and add to the creamed butter. Mix until combined. Using a cookie press, press the cookies onto ungreased baking sheets. Top with sprinkles of your choice. Bake until firm but not yet browning, 6 to 8 minutes. After a few minutes, move cookies to a rack and cool.

PRESSED PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together into a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar together in the bowl of an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Beat in the peanut butter and egg. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add the flour mixture to make a smooth dough. Scrape the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, flatten into a disk, wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
• 2. Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325°F. Spray the pressed cookie sheet molds with nonstick spray. Press the dough evenly into the molds; the molds should be three-quarters full.
• 3. Bake until the edges are golden, about 9 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cookies remain in the molds for 5 minutes before turning them out onto a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• 4. Decorate the cookies as desired with Chocolate Ganache, Royal Icing and sanding sugars.
