I was looking to make a few new cookies for my annual 12 Days of Cookies. I've made basic Spritz Cookies many times, but I wanted to mix it up a bit. These are a quick and easy cookie that melt in your mouth! A few of these with a cup of coffee on a cold December morning are a great way to start the day.
Makes 6 dozen.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon bourbon
1/2 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour
2 vanilla beans, seeded
Note: The cookies will not stick to a silpat mat or parchment paper. I find it best to chill my baking sheets for 10 minutes in the fridge while I'm making the dough and have no issues having the cookies stick to my baking sheet coming out the cookie press.
Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Chill 2 cookie sheets.
2. Cream butter, bourbon, and powdered sugar together.
3. Add cornstarch, salt, and flour until just combined.
4. Mix in vanilla bean seeds.
5. Place dough in the cookie press. You'll have to refill it a few times to use all the dough. Select a metal pressing disk (or change throughout) and press cookies on to cookie sheet.
6. Bake for 9-10 minutes. Cookies should be soft, but solidified. Let cool on a wire rack.
