Classic Butter Cookies

Traditional cookie press cookies are even sweeter when topped
with a piping of ganache (page 10).
Makes about 125 medium-size cookies
3½ cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, cubed and
at room temperature
1½ cups confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Put the flour and salt into a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine;
reserve.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and the sugar. Using
a Cuisinart® Hand or Stand Mixer fitted with the mixing beaters/
paddle, mix until light and creamy. Add the vanilla and egg; mix
until combined. Add the reserved dry ingredients and mix on low,
until just combined.
4. Fit the Cuisinart® Electric Cookie Press with desired disc, as
instructed on page 2. Load the cookie dough to the MAX fill line.
Press cookie dough out onto an ungreased/unlined baking pan,
about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly
golden around the edges.
6. Cool cookies before removing from pan.
