SPRITZ COOKIES - SWEDISH BUTTER COOKIES RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, beat yolk, cream, and vanilla with fork until combined; set aside. In standing mixer, cream butter, sugar, and salt at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape down bowl with rubber spatula. With mixer running at medium speed, add yolk/cream mixture and beat until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Scrape down bowl. With mixer running at low speed, gradually beat in flour until combined. Scrape down bowl and give final stir with rubber spatula to ensure that no flour pockets remain. If using cookie press to form cookies, follow manufacturer's instructions to fill press; if using pastry bag, press or pipe cookies onto un-greased baking sheets, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time until cookies are light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking time. Cool cookies on baking sheet until just warm, 10 to 15 minutes; using metal spatula, transfer to wire rack and cool to room temperature. My tips for best success: Use room temperature butter and egg yolk. Make sure that your baking sheets are clean, and free of grease (or the cookies could stick). Do NOT put the cookies on parchment paper and don't grease the baking sheet! If you are using a cookie press, roll the dough into a "log". It will easily slip into the cylinder. Press the dough into the cylinder, trying to get out the air bubbles. Some of the cookies will come out deformed. Just scoop the dough off the baking sheet, and add back with the rest of the unbaked dough. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes, and loosen them with a spatula. Once completely cool, move to a baking rack.

• 1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together then add to butter mixture. Mix well. Add in almond emulsion and 3 T cream, mixing well. Dough will be crumbly.
• 2. Work dough into a ball, cut into 4 equal size portions and shape each into a ball, then flatten to a 4" disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate 10 minutes.
• 3. Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Beat egg with 2 tsp cream. After 10 minutes or so is up, place each disk onto 1 prepared cookie sheet, brush with egg mixture and generously sprinkle with decorator sugar. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
• 4. After 20 minutes, remove from oven, lower oven temp to 300. Carefully slice (bread knife works best) each disk into 8-10 slices, lay them onto another parchment lined cookie sheet, you can use the first cookie sheet as well, if you need too. Then return to oven and bake another 10-20 minutes. Ten minutes for a more chewy cookie and 20 for a more crisp firm cookie. These will get more firm as they sit and cool. While warm I cut all but the end pieces in half again.
